When should I inspect my attic?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Inspect your attic at least twice a year, in spring and fall. Look for signs of roof leaks, water stains, mold, pest droppings, or nesting materials. Check insulation for dampness or compaction. Ensure vents are not blocked. Verify there is no daylight coming through the roof deck, which indicates holes or gaps.
Why It Matters
Attic problems like leaks, poor ventilation, and pests often go unnoticed until they cause major damage. Regular inspections catch issues early.
