2. Wet And Dry Rot
Wood rot can attack any damp wood in your house — most often rafters, studs, beams and sills. The best defence is careful maintenance.

3. Insulation
If the vapour barrier between the house and the attic leaks, moisture can accumulate and dampen the insulation, staining the rafters and roof sheathing, and eventually rotting the wood in the attic.

4. The Structure
Apart from the foundation and the roof rafters, you should also check the condition of other structural supports like beams, jacks, and posts.

5. Other Considerations
