Attic Mold Remediation, Testing & Inspection
Attics are a common area for mold growth in a home. They tend to have the perfect growth conditions for mold and most of the time it’s undiscoverable as homeowners almost never frequent their attics, so attic mold grows undisturbed – sometimes for years!

What are the key identifiers that indicate you may have attic mold?
- Staining on wood surfaces – wood in your attic showing any black discolouration is basically screaming attic mold.
- If you happen to go up there and it feels excessively hot and stuffy – boom there’s mold for sure. Attics are supposed to feel breezy if they are ventilated properly. poor ventilation = hot/stuffy = mold.
- Frost buildup on the underside of your roof sheathing during the winter months. The colder temperatures can cause water vapour in a poorly ventilated attic to freeze. it’s a great indicator of poor ventilation and hence mold growth.
- If you notice the insulation gets damp or wet – attic mold is just around the corner.
- The smell of mildew in the attic – pretty straightforward this one.
