Read answer and next step →One answer cannot certify a hidden condition.
Do not walk unsafe framing, disturb suspect insulation or work near electrical hazards. Active roof leakage, widespread decay or unstable materials needs qualified inspection.
Evidence makes the next step faster.
Include attic photos, outdoor temperature, snow or rain history, exhaust duct routes, insulation condition and the position of air leaks or roof penetrations.
