How to check for repairs and defects on a flipped or remodeled home
Hello everyone, it's Home Inspector Dan back with another home inspection walkthrough. Today, we've got a property that's caught my attention, and you won't believe the price history on this one! But before we get into that, let's talk about a critical issue we've uncovered during our inspection: the lack of insulation in the attic.
Now, I know it might look great from the outside and inside, but trust me, what's going on up in that attic is a major concern, especially here in Phoenix, Arizona. Let's break down the implications:
Higher Energy Bills: Without attic insulation, you're basically letting your hard-earned money escape through the roof. In Phoenix's scorching climate, your AC has to work overtime to keep things cool, and that translates into significantly higher energy bills.
Uncomfortable Living Conditions: Insufficient insulation means you're going to have temperature swings throughout your home. Nobody wants to deal with uncomfortable heat during the summer, right?
Wear and Tear on HVAC Systems: Your HVAC system is taking a beating without proper insulation. It's like running a marathon every day, and that can lead to more breakdowns and a shorter lifespan for your equipment.
Indoor Air Quality: Bad insulation means your home isn't doing a great job keeping outdoor pollutants, dust, and allergens at bay. That's not doing any favors for your indoor air quality.
Home Value: If you're thinking about selling this place, you better believe potential buyers and appraisers are going to notice the lack of attic insulation. It can be a deal-breaker and might hurt your home's resale value.
Moisture Control: Insulation isn't just about temperature; it's also about moisture. Without it, you might be dealing with mold and mildew growth up there.
Environmental Impact: Let's not forget about the environment. Poor insulation means higher energy consumption, which contributes to more greenhouse gas emissions. Not good for our planet.
So, folks, the bottom line is this: it's time to invest in some attic insulation. But here in Phoenix, we need insulation that can handle the heat. Think about options like spray foam or reflective barrier insulation.
Don't let your energy bills soar, your comfort plummet, and your home's value dip because of missing attic insulation. Get it done right, and you'll thank yourself later.
Thanks for joining me on this inspection walkthrough! Stay tuned for more insights into making your home safer and more efficient. #insulation #homeinspection #crawlspace #lipstickonapig
