Why Should the Attic be Checked in a Home Inspection?

The attic is often checked during a home inspection because it can reveal various issues that might impact the overall condition and integrity of the house. Inspecting the attic helps identify problems such as roof leaks, inadequate insulation, pest infestations, ventilation issues, and structural concerns. It is a critical area to examine as issues there could impact the integrity and efficiency of the entire home.

Many home inspectors do check the attic as part of their standard inspection, however it is not universal. Some inspectors might offer it upon request or based on specific conditions mentioned by the homeowner or potential buyer. It’s a good idea to inquire about what area the inspector covers before hiring them to ensure the attic is included in the inspection.
