Q: Can I visually inspect the ceiling for joists?

• <div><p>A visual inspection may or may not reveal ceiling joists. Examine the ceiling surface for clues like nails, screws, or small dimples used to attach drywall or plaster to the joists. Look for subtle indentations or ridges indicating a joist beneath the surface. Observe any patterns or symmetrical features in the ceiling that could indicate the presence of underlying structural elements. </p></div>

Q: How do I check the humidity in my house?

• <div><p>You can check your home's humidity in a few ways. A simple option is to use a hygrometer, which you can find at a hardware or big box store. Your smartphone may also have an app that can measure humidity. Modern thermostats, particularly smart thermostats, are also able to measure humidity levels.</p></div>

Q: Who does energy audits?

• <div><p>Typically, a local home energy auditor is responsible for performing energy audits. A home energy auditor will conduct one of three energy audits designed by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) to determine the energy efficiency of your home. The auditor often provides analysis that can help guide changes and improvements to your home for better energy efficiency, giving recommendations as necessary.</p></div>

Q: Should I avoid buying a house with a crawl space?

• <div><p>Crawl spaces are prone to issues caused by excess humidity and improper ventilation, but that doesn&rsquo;t mean you should avoid buying a house with a crawl space. A home that is encapsulated and well-maintained shouldn&rsquo;t have any more issues than a slab or basement home.</p></div>
