Why this matters in Hampton Roads
The crawl space is the regional problem
Tidewater construction is predominantly crawl space rather than basement. A vented crawl space over a high water table is exposed to standing water, decay in the floor framing and displaced insulation, none of it visible from inside the house.
Bath fans that vent into the attic
An exhaust fan that terminates inside the attic rather than through the roof deposits humid air into an enclosed space. Sustained humidity against roof sheathing supports mold growth.
Panels that are still energized
Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels, installed widely in mid-century housing, have a documented history of breakers failing to trip under load. Identifying the panel is part of the standard scope.
