A missing roof vent might not catch a buyer’s eye during a walkthrough, but it’s exactly the kind of thing worth catching during a home inspection.

Left unaddressed, an opening in the roof can allow water and pests inside, leading to damaged insulation, wood rot, and costly repairs.

Catching it during the inspection gives buyers a chance to be aware of the issue and address it before it turns into a big headache for them after closing.

Having a thorough, honest inspector to refer clients to can make a real difference. An NPI inspection helps buyers understand the property’s condition, know what needs attention, and make informed decisions with fewer surprises.

It’s all about helping your clients feel informed, confident, and taken care of throughout the process.
