continued from front page...Another area of concern
may be
the insulation and ventilation.
As a rule of thumb, ventilation
is necessary if insulation is
present. Due to natural thermal
convection, the best ventilation
is high/low. The inspector may
check for evidence of
condensation, including rust on
nails, dark stains around nails in
wood, stains or eroded spots on
the attic floor, cupping of roof
shingles, discoloration of roof
sheathing and excessive
delaminating or deterioration of
the sheathing.
Heads up: any roofing
deterioration may present a
major concern on a home
inspection report. |
