Moisture & Water Intrusion
- ✔ Visible mold / mildew growth
- ✔ Moisture readings (wood surface & air RH%)
- ✔ Standing water / drainage issues
- ✔ Sump pump functionality (if present)
- ✔ Vapor barrier coverage & integrity
Airflow & Ventilation
- ✔ Attic ventilation balance (soffit intake vs ridge/exhaust)
- ✔ Blocked vents (insulation or debris)
- ✔ Crawlspace vent access / airflow
Insulation & Energy Efficiency
- ✔ Insulation depth & R‑value estimate
- ✔ Insulation condition (wet, compressed, contaminated)
- ✔ Air leakage points (around pipes, wires, ducts)
- ✔ Thermal bridging or hot/cold spots (IR scan)
Rodents & Contaminants
- ✔ Rodent droppings / nesting evidence
- ✔ Odor sources (musty / ammonia smell)
- ✔ Contaminated insulation or debris
System Performance
- ✔ Ductwork condition (leaks, disconnected, dirty)
- ✔ Plumbing leaks or condensation observed
- ✔ Electrical penetrations (safe clearance around insulation)
