Attic Inspections

You may forget what is kept in an attic but you don’t want to overlook this area to inspect prior to a property purchase.  An attic inspection will reveal whether or not there is structural damage indicating that the house has shifted, if there are stress cracks, damaged trusses, or rafters could lead to safety issues and compromise the structural integrity of a home.

• Chimney (if applicable)
• Electrical
• Insulation (condition, thickness, type)
