Attic Inspection

What This Service Involves

Our inspectors climb into your attic to look for the tell-tale signs that plague Western Washington homes: darkened sheathing, rusted nail tips, matted insulation, and rodent intrusion around ventilation gaps. We map airflow from soffit to ridge and check whether bathroom and kitchen fans actually vent outside rather than dumping humid air into the roof cavity. Every finding is documented with photos so you can see exactly what is happening above your ceiling. The result is a clear picture of your attic's health and a prioritized list of what needs attention.

Benefits

Catches moisture and rot early before repairs become structural; Confirms exhaust fans terminate outdoors instead of into the attic; Identifies rodent and pest entry points common in older PNW homes; Provides photo documentation you can keep for insurance or resale; Gives you an honest baseline before spending on insulation or venting

Our Process

1) Review your home's age, roof type, and any leak or comfort complaints; 2) Access the attic and inspect sheathing, framing, insulation, and vents; 3) Test airflow paths and check that fans exhaust to the exterior; 4) Deliver a photo report with prioritized recommendations

What Affects the Cost

Attic size and pitch that affect how much crawl space we cover; Difficulty and safety of access through tight hatches or low clearances; Whether destructive checks are needed to confirm suspected rot; Age of the home and complexity of existing ventilation; Add-on moisture meter or infrared readings when dampness is suspected

Best Time of Year

Late summer and early fall are ideal so any issues are fixed before the wet season sets in, though inspections run year-round.
