When you have a home inspector visit your house, an attic inspection is a standard part of the inspection process. Although it isn’t the most exciting of home improvements, a professional attic insulation inspection is important to identify problems and potential energy-efficiency issues.
An attic inspection involves a visual assessment of the condition of your home’s attic. Coastline Insulation will first locate and assess any entryways into the attic (hatches, pull-down stairs or scuttle holes) to ensure they are functioning properly. Once inside the attic, the inspector will evaluate the condition of the insulation and check for any signs of sagging or water damage. In addition, the inspector will check for proper ventilation to prevent heat retention and moisture buildup.

If your attic is well-insulated, you’ll likely see a significant difference in your heating and cooling bills. Inadequate attic insulation can be the result of age, humidity or pest infestation. It’s important to regularly schedule attic inspections and replace or repair insulation as needed.
In addition to assessing the type and condition of your attic’s insulation, the home inspector will also examine any electrical wiring present in the attic and ensure it is up to code. The home inspector may also evaluate any ductwork or HVAC systems located in the attic to determine if they are functioning correctly.
The home inspector will also inspect the chimney for safety and stability. If you’re choosing a home inspector for an attic insulation inspection, look for membership in a reputable organization and request sample inspection reports. These can provide valuable insight into the inspector’s professionalism and quality of work.
