When was the last time you were in your attic or crawl space? For most people, it’s been a while! The two most-expensive inspection-related issues we encounter with our clients are generally water intrusion and mold growth.
Water intrusion can be from a plumbing or roof leak, over-sprinkling, or sometimes even a high water table.
And because mold grows best where it’s dark, warm, and wet, your attic and crawl space can be ideal environments.
We recommend having someone who knows what to look for enter your attic and crawl space at least twice per year to inspect for water or mold. It’s better to catch a potential problem early when it’s minor and less-expensive to repair!
