The cause was not determined.It is recommended to make modifications to the attic ventilation system in this home in order to meet minimum requirements -inadequate soffit venting.The inspection has identified an active plumbing leak at joint within water supply piping under home as seen in crawl area.The access opening size (for small crawl area) is not adequate to allow for easy entrance to the crawl area.The vapor barrier/plastic covering on floor of crawl area needs repair to provide the intended service.
