ATTIC FAN: 
Automatic attic fan. An automatic attic fan helps to ventilate the attic. Ventilating an attic is necessary to help prevent premature damage to roofing materials and wall and ceiling materials. Ventilation helps to cool down the attic in the summer which helps reduce your cooling costs. This type attic fan operates with the assistance of a thermostat built onto or near the unit. Most can be set to a desired temperature. Often an override switch will be found in a closet, hallway, or in some other out-of-the-way location. The thermostat control sometimes fails but can be replaced quite easily. Become familiar with the sound of the fan so you can be aware of any changes. Should the fan become excessively noisy it may need attention or replaced. New units are easy to install if the same type unit is purchased. They are available at most all Building Supply Outlets and usually cost under $100.00. Manually switched attic fan: Manually switched attic fans are the same as automatic fans but must be switched on and off manually. Roof mount attic fan: A roof mount attic fan is mounted on the underside of the roof. This location can increase the possibility of roof leaks since all roof penetrations are at higher risk of leaks. Check for leaks at least TWIce per year during rains. It may be a good idea to spray water on the system during dry spells to ascertain whether leaks are present. Gable vent mount attic fan: Gable vent mount attic fans are probably the easiest to install and maintain. Since they exhaust out a gable end vent they are usually easy to monitor. Become accustomed to the sound yours makes so you can foundation that is below ground. The footing is that portion of the foundation of a structure which spreads and transmits loads directly to the soil or the piles. The foundation wall is usually visible, or partly visible, since it is usually above ground. The footing usually is not visible to the inspector and marking this item is not intended to indicate the presence of a footing. The inspector will not be able to ascertain whether reinforcing bars have been installed within the footings or foundation. Please contact the inspection company if you desire more information. Cracks in concrete foundations are so common that the inspector will not necessarily mention every one noticed. If a crack has opened to the extent that water is entering the under floor area or if the foundation has shifted to the extent that further settlement should be prevented it will usually be noted in the report under Inspect for cracks on a yearly basis and should repairs be necessary you will find several products available for this purpose.

Few realize the work performed by your NJ Real Estate Attorney. They are the ones who review the title, survey, contracts, mortgages, legal documents and perhaps most important to many home inspection report. An experienced NJ Real Estate Attorney can provide you with solid advice as to what you can and can not reasonably ask for after he or she reviews your home inspection report. Of course in order for your attorney to do a good job they need a good home inspection report to start out with. It is unfortunate many home inspectors (even those who have been in the field for a while) simply have no idea how vital their job is to their clients economic well being. Many home inspectors are under the mistaken impression they work for real estate agents. New Jersey law and regulation quite clearly indicate Licensed New Jersey Home Inspectors are to work for the home buying client, not the home owner nor the real estate agent. Home inspectors who have been full time in the home inspection business since 1993, who taught NJ home inspection classes and have performed more than 6,000 home inspections are much more likely to be able to write the type home inspection report you will need to obtain concessions from home sellers than those who went to school for a few weeks and spent just one week in the field inspecting homes.
