ATTIC VENTILATION INSUFFICIENT / SCREENS / COVER PLATE MISSING / AMISS: 
Attic ventilation is necessary to maintain a "healthy" attic. In hot weather attics with insufficient ventilation can build up excessive heat resulting, with some materials, shortened roof life. Condensation which leads to wood rot, excessive wall and ceiling cracking, etc. may build up in cold weather. There are several calculations necessary to determine the exact amount of ventilation required in any structure. The inspector does not make these calculations but judges the situation against past experiences and from the attic condition with respect to its age. Screens should be installed and maintained on attic vents to prevent birds and other animals from entering the attic. Vents should be installed 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. 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.
