Faux Works but does it Work? Roof Vent Inspections – Grant County and Quincy Home Inspection

Faux is a French word for “False” or “Fake”

But what we do not want to see is items that that as Faux that are "false".

Here we have an example of a faux metal roof vents. The vents on the roof are not correct for this style of roofing. Most metal roofs use a ridge venting system.

Since we had cathedral ceilings in the home an attic inspection could not be performed to confirm what I saw on the roof.

I recommended to my client to have a roofer evaluate the vents further because I could not see how the venting was performed and worried that it was done incorrectly.

When the roofer performed his evaluation and pulled a vent to evaluate it he finds that there was no vent hole at all (I suspected as such).

This home had Faux vents (false and fake)!

Sometimes when performing a home inspection it is just not to point out obvious issues but to also give a professional opinion on what may need further evaluation or more importantly what questions to ask.
