Home Inspection Services

Rats in the attic of a Cypress home cause major damage. David of DHI Home Inspection arrived to inspect a home early on Monday and found that the homes attic was overrun with rodents. The smell was overwhelming said David. I have been an inspector for 11 years and I have never seen anything like it. The rats found their way into the attic by way of a phone line from the power pole at the rear of the home. The rats were able to feed on the many fruit trees in the yard. The damage to the attic was extensive. The insulation, wires as well as the air condition duct work were chewed away by as many as 80 to 100 rats. The ceilings were stained with rat urine. The home had sat vacant for two years due to foreclose . Another sign of the times. The good thing about all this says David is that this one is sold and is going to a new owner who will make the repairs!
