ATTIC
Your attic is not just a storage space for all your forgotten treasures. The condition of the attic plays a large role in the health of your home. Although the exterior of the roof may look sound and secure, an Attic Inspection could reveal potential structural damage indicating that the house has shifted. Stress cracks, broken trusses or rafters could lead to safety issues and compromise the structural integrity of a home.

Evidence of water, pest, and fire damage
