Ventilation with outdoor air has been the accepted method for controlling moisture and overheating in residential attics. This is recognized in the Building Code which requires that the total vent area must be l/300th of the attic floor area. However, how much ventilation is provided and how this ventilation affects moisture accumulation in an attic are not well understood. Attic ventilation and moisture., IS Walker, 1993
Preparing for an attic inspection is essential to ensure a thorough and efficient evaluation. Proper preparation helps the inspector access all necessary areas and provides a clearer picture of the attic’s condition. Homeowners can take several practical steps to facilitate the process
Ensure that the entrance to the attic is easily accessible. This may involve moving stored items, furniture, or boxes that could obstruct access to the attic hatch or door.
If possible, clear away debris, insulation that has shifted, or any stored items inside the attic that may hinder the inspector’s ability to assess the space effectively.
Take note of the current insulation type, thickness, and condition. Photographs or written notes can be helpful during the inspection and for future reference.
Look for visible signs of water stains, mold, or damaged wood. Reporting these observations to the inspector can assist in a more targeted evaluation.
