Causes of Attic Mold In Your Springfield, VA Home

Homeowners throughout the Northern Virginia and Washington, DC area often find themselves faced with the problem of black mold in the attic and wonder why it happened. Attic mold is typically caused by poor ventilation, wet building materials and a bathroom, kitchen or dryer vent that is routed improperly. These conditions lead to potentially dangerous living conditions for the home's inhabitants, in addition to the possibility of structural damage and property depreciation.

Common issues with attic mold stem from misconceptions of attic mold remediation companies. Many mold remediation companies may tell you the sheeting needs to be replaced in the attic, but this usually isn’t the case. In most circumstances, unless the sheathing shows signs of severe wet rot or dry rot, or even of delamination, the sheathing does not need to be replaced. Replacing the roof on your home is a really expensive way to approach attic mold remediation.

Even though generations of family members have used bleach and water as a way to kill mold, this concoction is not the right solution for your attic mold remediation project. When the attic shows signs of mold, you must identify the cause of the mold before you can think about how to solve the problem. In most situations, attic ventilation is the key to attic mold growth — when ventilation is inadequate, mold can easily grow.
