Getting Ready to Buy a New Home?

General home inspectors are great at finding typical issues that can occur within a home. However, what they are not so skilled at is finding problems that are hidden in your crawl space and attic.

 Our expert inspectors are well trained and experienced with identifying potential problems within the hidden corners of your new home before they create much bigger and more expensive issues.

You may be wondering just what you need to look for when inspecting an attic or crawl space. The three major things we check for is airflow, evidence of wildlife or wildlife damage, and the condition of the insulation. We will also inspect your radiant barriers, check for mold and mildew, look for evidence of water or fire damage, and look for excess moisture.

Our attic inspection specialist thoroughly inspects your HVAC system. During the inspection, we check the integrity of the ductwork, ensure there are no leaks, survey the quality of your insulation, cleanliness, and check for general signs of wear and tear. These factors could negatively impact the air quality within your home as well as raise your utility bills.

No one wants rodents or other types of pests making their attic or crawl space home. If there are signs of mice, rats, raccoons, bats, or any other type of wildlife, our professionals will uncover it and understand what steps should be taken to remedy the infestation and ensure that it does not happen in the future.

Proper insulation is essential in any home. Our attic and crawl space professionals check that your insulation has the appropriate “R-Value” to ensure that it meets current standards. Furthermore, checking the insulation in older homes is necessary to know if there has been a fire in the past, water damage, or if the insulation is dirty or unsanitary and needs to be removed and replaced.
