Importance of Attics in a Cleveland Home Inspection
At Tri-County Inspections, a Cleveland, Ohio home inspection company, we go out of our way to set aside substantial time to inspect the attic in all our Cleveland home inspections. Not only does a thorough inspection of the attic help explain major components of energy efficiency and ventilation, but the attic also holds the secrets to other things like mold, past water entry, leaks, rodents and other pest infestations, electrical concerns that could lead to fire damage, past fire damage and potential structural issues.
Cleveland Attic Inspections Reveal Mold, Electrical Hazards and Mice
Although this particular video is about a cracked roof truss, past videos of attic inspections around the Cleveland area have covered other issues found by getting into the attic (usually a small space for lead home inspector and owner, Mike Vakos), including:
- Home Inspection Reveals Hidden Access Panel and Missing Rail: beautiful finished attic in Parma, Ohio had a hard-to-find access panel containing important access to plumbing, electrical and insulated areas.
- Home Inspector Finds Mice: explains how signs of mice in the attic don't have to be alarming and when to be concerned.
- One Reason to Get a Home Inspection: Find Causes of Mold: shows how an attic ventilation issue was caught during the home inspection
- Another Reason to Get a Home Inspection – Fix Electrical Hazards: where Mike finds an open junction box for a fan in the attic - a common electrical hazard discovered in a home inspection.
Attic: Home Inspection in Cleveland
In this short video Cleveland home inspector, Mike Vakos, explains how structural supports are one of the main things a home inspector should be looking at when doing a home inspection. Other things a home inspector should be looking at in an attic inspection include mold, ventilation, duct work, fire damage, water damage and insulation. The video makes it clear that an attic truss is cracked - which can be an easy repair and can keep further damage from being done by repairing sooner than later.
