3 ATTICThe inspection of attic areas and the roof structure is limited to readily visible and accessible elements as listed herein Due to typicaldesign and accessibility constraints such as insulation storage finished attic surfaces roofing products etc many elements and areasincluding major structural components are often at least partially concealed from view and cannot be inspected A standardhome inspection does not include an evaluation of the adequacy of the roof structure to support any load the thermal value or energyefficiency of insulation the integrity of vapor retarders or the operation of thermostatically controlled fans Older homes generally do notmeet insulation and energy conservation standards required for new homes Additional information related to attic elements andconditions may be found under other headings in this report including ROOFS and INTERIOR ELEMENTS
