What do you see? - Wenatchee and Leavenworth Home Inspection
There are two area in a home that usually do not get much visitation, at least from a human (critters and insects are another story). This is the crawlspace and attic.
When performing home inspections in these areas I will save them for last. Always save the good stuff for last... right!
Here we have a good example why these areas need to be properly evaluated.
Look at this picture and what do you see.
Eileen is a good name for a lady but not for a chimney.
Upon closer evaluation you can see the bricks are starting to separate which is just not a good sign. (Nice grout work also ; )
I find attics can be a conundrum. I want to traverse them all but many times I cannot due to truss design and the use of blown in insulation.
In these older homes this is usually not the case and I get to go merrily through the attic performing my home inspection. This is usually a good thing as in this case.
