Time to sell your home and move on to the next adventure? You’ve got a lot to think about, with realtors, buyers, and all the other people associated with home sales bombarding you with information.
Let our attic and crawl space home inspectors help you avoid an inconvenient surprise that could cause a headache down the road. You want your property in ready, move-in condition with little to no issues that could arise during the buyer’s inspection. Why? All this preparation gives you more negotiating power and saves costs in future negotiations.
A thorough look at your house from top to bottom ensures a potential contract doesn’t get derailed. Your realtor will likely have advised that you get a home inspection, which is the right thing to do. But not all home inspectors are experienced in looking for the tell-tale signs of danger in attics and crawl spaces.
Many inspectors may overlook spaces that aren’t easily and readily accessible, but those areas usually require the most attention. Our attic and crawl space home inspectors aren’t afraid to get into those tight and dark corners to make sure your sale will be a success.

So, what’s involved in an attic or crawl space pre-inspection from Attic Projects?
First, we inspect the attic and crawl spaces to see how air is moving through the home. We’ll check out the ductwork for any leaks, poor installation, or general wear and tear. Have you noticed poor air circulation indoors or higher utility bills? An inspection may reveal if the HVAC system is not functioning properly and working overtime to heat and cool the home – a potentially costly repair if not addressed now. Our crawl space inspectors will then inspect the HVAC system’s functioning from the crawl space, determining if a clean-up or vapor barrier is needed to address any efficiency or moisture issues.
Next, we check out your insulation. You might hear terms such as “R-Value.” Our inspectors will explain the industry jargon and advise whether the insulation is up to standard. We’ll check to see if dirty or contaminated insulation needs removal and if moisture or mold has entered the attic.
Then, our attic and crawl space inspectors look for indicators of wildlife in those closed-off and convenient spaces in your home. Rats and other rodents love making homes in attics and crawl spaces. If a rodent has chewed through wires, burrowed, and nested in insulation, we’ll know. Before a buyer’s inspector demands a more expensive repair, let our rodent-proofing experts inspect these areas first and seal all the points of entry.
Finally, we inspect the neglected areas of the home. A quick peek into the attic, or crawl space may look like the typical home, but a home inspector may catch serious issues that could cost you the deal. Is there damage to the floorboards? Evidence of water, pest, or fire damage? Our inspectors will recommend any necessary remediation. We look for evidence of moisture from the underside of the roof to the insulation under the floor to make sure your home is up to code.
Sell smart! Know what the issues are before you throw money at a problem just to get the contract through.

Selling your home at or above market value is not always a given. If a buyer takes a look at your home and gets it thoroughly inspected before you do, it is possible that they will uncover issues that you were not aware of. This could negatively impact the value of your home and/or your negotiating power. Furthermore, potential buyers may not feel comfortable purchasing a home from you if they find issues with your attic or crawl spaces that you did not previously disclose.
It’s imperative that your insulation is up to standard and has the appropriate “R-Value.” We look for insulation that may need to be removed because it is dirty, unsanitary, worn out, contaminated, and/or riddled with excess moisture or mold. These problems can cause respiratory issues, higher utility bills, and potentially costly repairs if not addressed quickly.
At Attic Projects, our attic and crawl space inspection specialist takes pride in searching hard to reach areas and conducting a thorough inspection of your property. Most home inspectors glance over the crawl space and attic. Our inspection specialist searches for evidence of water damage, fire damage, pest infestations, mold, mildew, excessive moisture, damaged floorboards, etc.
It’s better to uncover potential issues before a potential buyer does. Negotiation is all about leverage, and when a potential buyer notices major issues with your attic or crawl space before you do, you lose much of your negotiating power. Work with the professionals at Attic Projects to ensure that you are selling your home in top condition so you can get top dollar. Contact us today to schedule your attic inspection before you put your home on the market.
If your HVAC system is compromised, it can cause decreased air quality within your home, poor air circulation, as well as higher utility bills.

Furthermore, we address potential HVAC issues in your crawl space areas, such as problems with your vapor barrier, excess moisture, and other types of issues that cause inefficiencies.
Rats, mice, bats, raccoons, and just about any pest you can think of, love to get comfortable in an attic or crawl space to make it home.
