Attic and Insulation Energy Loss Inspection

Cost Savings

Checklist Tasks

• Check for uneven or compressed insulation especially near eaves.
• Look for daylight through roof boards signaling leaks or missing shingles.
• Inspect for rodent droppings or nests causing insulation gaps.
• Test attic airflow at soffit and ridge vents for proper ventilation.
• Examine rafters and sheathing for water stains or soft spots.
• Verify that insulation is not blocking vents to avoid moisture buildup.
• Check for frost or condensation on nails or wood showing air leaks.
• Seal gaps around pipes, wiring, and fixtures with fire-safe foam.
• Ensure attic hatch or stairs are insulated and tightly sealed.
• Look for insect activity like sawdust or chewed wood.
• Measure insulation depth and compare to local code requirements.
• Photograph any problem areas for repair documentation.
