Sometimes it can be difficult to determine why a room is too hot/cold but other times it's really easy to figure out. Zero attic insulation! This particular attic space was separate from the rest of the attic and could only be accessed through a very small ceiling hatch (narrow hips for the win.)

Gutter cleaning is often one of the first maintenance items to be neglected on a home. In this case the clogged gutter led to water backflowing onto the fascia board, which then rotted causing the gutter to fall off. Now water is falling straight down the side of the house and washing under the foundation. Call or text 703-677-2009 to schedule a home inspection!

Sometimes accessing a home for an inspection requires a little creativity. In this case the last agent at the property locked the keys inside the house and the listing agent gave permission to enter via a nontraditional method. (Pro tip, always latch every window before leaving a property, unless of course you are going to lock the keys inside 😏 )
