Most homeowners rarely, if ever, look inside their attic — but it’s one of the most important parts of your home. The attic affects your home’s energy efficiency, indoor air quality, roof health, and overall safety. Without proper attic inspections, hidden problems can go unnoticed for years.

At By George Inspections & Services, LLC, we specialize in identifying attic issues before they lead to costly repairs. Here’s why regular attic inspections are essential.

What Does a Professional Attic Inspection Cover?

1. Insulation Condition & Effectiveness

Damaged, insufficient, or poorly installed insulation can increase your energy bill and reduce comfort. We check for gaps, moisture damage, and insulation type.

2. Ventilation & Airflow

Proper ventilation prevents mold, roof rot, and excessive heat buildup. Many homes in Alabama have blocked or insufficient ventilation without realizing it.

3. Moisture, Mold & Leak Detection

Small roof leaks often show up in the attic long before they appear inside the home. Early detection prevents major problems.

4. Structural Components

We evaluate rafters, trusses, and decking for wood rot, sagging, pest damage, or structural concerns.

Signs Your Attic May Have Hidden Problems

• High utility bills

• Musty or moldy odors

• Hot or cold spots in the home

• Roof shingles deteriorating

• Condensation in winter

• Visible pests or droppings

Why Attic Inspections Save Homeowners Money

A neglected attic leads to:

• Higher energy bills

A simple attic inspection can prevent thousands in repairs by catching issues early.
