The Risks of Attic Mold Contamination
Attics are a prime location for mold to grow because of their low ventilation, high humidity levels, condensation, and water damage from roof leaks. These conditions can cause the mold to spread quickly, causing structural failure and potential health hazards. If left untreated, attic mold can lead to costly repairs and risks to your health and property.
Why Attic Mold Removal is Essential
Attic mold can be a significant problem for homeowners, landlords, and property managers. Besides the health concerns, attic mold can reduce property value and even void home warranties if left untreated. By promptly addressing the mold with a removal service, you can protect your property before any more damage is done.
Early Detection and Professional Inspection
Attic mold often goes unnoticed until it becomes a serious problem, so identifying it early is critical. Common signs that you might have mold in your attic include a musty odour and having discoloration on wood and insulation (especially if it’s dark or spotted). If you suspect you have mold in your attic, a professional mold inspection is the first step in addressing it.
Attic Mold Inspection
Our mold inspection begins by doing a visual assessment of your attic to look for signs of moisture, staining, or active growth. After the initial inspection, we can use a Thermal Imaging Camera to help detect hidden moisture and a Thermal Hygrometer to record temperature and humidity. We also do a check on the ventilation and air flow (soffits, baffles, exhaust fans, and roof vents). When appropriate, we collect indoor and outdoor air samples, with an air quality test, that are sent to an independent laboratory for analysis. We will then develop a remediation plan to safely and effectively remove the mold to ensure that your attic is restored to a clean and healthy condition and prevent mold growth in the future.
