Hidden Roof Damage

It takes the trained eye of a local to St Paul home inspector to uncover the real story. Unfinished attics are an easy target because it takes some effort to really expose the extent of the damage. We’ll get up into the attic space and report our findings to you.
Hidden Floor Damage
There are multiple ways floor damage can be unnoticeable to the average home buyer or seller. The floor may have sunk over the years, even though it appears to be level. A closer examination of the basement can reveal rotting or other structural damage. An inspection of the space under the home is also necessary to make sure there isn’t any water damage or mold. It can be surprising how badly damaged some floors are!
