FORGET HALLOWEEN – BEWARE OF MONSTERS IN YOUR ATTIC
Moisture and mold in your attic can wreak havoc on your home, your wallet, and your comfort!
Spooky Attic Moisture
Moisture from bathing, cooking, and cleaning can rise to your attic during winter when windows and doors are kept shut for months. Over time, condensation can build up in your attic leading to wood rot and damage to roof structures. Moisture can also foster mold growth in your attic.
Haunting Attic Mold
Attic mold can lead to respiratory issues, especially for occupants suffering from asthma or allergies. In addition, several varieties of mold can breed in your attic, and it is nearly impossible to determine one mold species from another with the naked eye.
Once mold growth begins, it can rapidly spread from your attic to living spaces, including your bathroom, kitchen, and sleeping areas. Rapid, professional mold mitigation is the best way to run this unwelcome entity from your attic space. Click here to learn more about attic mold>
