Recent inspection. Home was renovated and upgraded the roof decking with spray foam insulation- but the old bat insulation was left in place in the attic. This needs further investigation as it certainly can be a reservoir for microbial matter and/ or mold. The room directly below this had an odd smell and elevated mold spores in a walk in closet.
Upgrades are wonderful - but homeowners need to understand how they affect overall building science and potential problems.
Ernie, alerted to the elevated mold in the closet below which prompted further inspection of the attic area. BRAVO!
