VENTILATION INSUFFICIENT /
SCREENS MISSING / AMISS:
Like attic vents, ventilation under the
structure is necessary to maintain a
"healthy" atmosphere and environment
for the structure. Foundation vents are usually
required at the rate of one square foot of
opening for each 150 square feet of floor space.
Mechanical methods of ventilation are acceptable
under some circumstances. Openings should be as
close to corners as practical and should provide
good cross ventilation. Foundation vents should
be equally distributed along at least two
opposite sides of the structure and be covered
with corrosion resistant wire mesh with mesh
openings of at least 1/4 inch. If ground water
and moisture are not a problem and a vapor
barrier is installed over the under floor ground
area, it may be allowable to have ten percent
less ventilation area. The inspector cannot
determine the exact dimensions of the vents or
size of the under floor area. Past experiences
and the condition of the under floor area are
viewed as the noteworthy factors. Foundation
vents are also required in garages when fuel
burning appliances are installed within the
garage. In many cases we see these necessary
vents closed off with plywood, shelving, etc.
and/or their screens missing or damaged. Vents
should be installed, cleared, and/or screened
over. Persons handy with tools can easily
install extra vents and the inspector is always
available to explain the exact method best
suited to your circumstances. Garage vents are
often cut into the garage door itself--an easier
job than cutting through an exterior wall. The
correct type vent needed is usually available at
any Building Supply Store. Contact a General
Contractor or Home Repair and Maintenance
Company if you need assistance.

Exactly who works for you during a home purchase? Your New Jersey Real Estate Attorney will, as will a very carefully selected home inspector. A haphazardly selected inspector can be very hazardous to your wealth. Many home buyers are told by those who are only compensated if a sale goes through all licensed home inspectors are the same. Few things can be further from the truth. For example if you were going to a doctor would you prefer one who just got out of school last week, or one who taught in the school for a few years, who has been in practice since 1993, who had eight or so years experience in an affiliated industry and who has done the exact same thing more than 6,000 times for others. When selecting a doctor, New Jersey Real Estate Attorney or New Jersey Home Inspector do not let the minimum qualification of holding a license fool you. Go out of your way to select the best qualified and most experienced professional you can afford.
