Clarksburg MD

"There is No Insulation In The Attic"

"WHAT??!!"

I was representing the seller as he was selling his 4 year-old-house.

We had a buyer and they were doing the normal routine home inspection. Everything was going fine until the home inspector crawled up to the attic with his flashlight. .

"There is no insulation in this attic!"

He announced. .

As I quickly responded. ."you mean it needs MORE insulation?"

"NO!" he yelled back..

"There is not one ounce of insulation in this attic!"

I was silent for a few seconds as I looked puzzled towards my client . .

"Are you sure? " I asked as I started climbing up the ladder to see it with my own eyes.

Yep, sure enough. . there was not even a dust mite of insulation on this attic. . it was clean as a whistle!

"No wonder this house was so cold on the winters " shuddered my seller as of matter fact. .

"You lived in this house for 4 years with no insulation on your attic?!

Didn't you inspected this when you first purchased you home? I asked incredulously

"No, I though "they"inspected the house before they gave me the keys". .answered the $600 per month heating bill dumbfounded dweller.

"Who is they?"

"The Builder"

"huh?"

Guess what?

The builder will only do what city inspectors allows them to do. .they missed it and they sold you a brand new townhouse . .and somehow they forgot to put insulation. .

Someone dropped the ball. .

As I called the builder for my client and demanded politely for them to come in and FINISH BUILDING THIS HOUSE 4 YEARS LATER!

They did this FREE OF CHARGE!. .phewww!
