What are causes of attic mold in Grand Rapids area homes?
Attic mold has many underlying causes, but moisture is the leading cause to remember. Without water, there can be no mold growth. To find the source of attic mold, it is essential to find the source of abnormal moisture in the attic. This can be from many things, including poor insulation, leaky ductwork, inadequate roof structures, bathroom fans, poor attic ventilation, non-insulated ducts, and no dampened roof unit.
Is attic mold dangerous?
Since attic mold is in the attic, the way in which air typically flows through the house prevents attic mold from entering the living space air. Fortunately, the adverse health effects associated with mold are not common with attic mold. Unfortunately, this can lead to unchecked attic mold growth, as there typically aren’t outright signs of mold in the attic space.
