Don't overlook your attic


  • Check your attic for proper ventilation and birds nests.

  • Look for obstructions over vents, damaged soffit panels, roof flashing leaks and wet spots on insulation. Keeping a good airflow will save you when it comes to cooling costs, says Greg Haskett, vice president of The HomeTeam Inspection Service (www.hometeaminspection.com).

  • When you're rooting around, wear long sleeves and gloves to protect yourself from insulation.
