Attic Mold Prevention Services

Attic mold can grow unnoticed for years. When was the last time you took a peek?

Changing Attic Conditions to Reduce Mold Risk

Mold growth in attics is typically caused by moisture issues, poor ventilation, and insufficient insulation. If attic mold is visible, it’s important to address it quickly. A simple flashlight inspection can often reveal warning signs such as dark stains on wood, fuzzy white spots, or discoloration on insulation.

At Ver Wys, we focus on changing the conditions that allow attic mold to form. Through a detailed inspection and energy analysis, we assess factors like ventilation, insulation quality, and sources of moisture to help you create an environment less likely to support mold growth.

Every attic is different, and so are its challenges. Our goal is to provide education and clear options to help reduce the risk of mold returning by improving the overall balance and performance of your attic space.

Signs of Mold in Your Home

Stains

The easiest way to know there’s a mold problem in your attic is the telltale presence of dark spots on the wooden beams. In this case, the mold poses a serious safety hazard to you and your home and should be immediately removed.

Stuffy Attic

If you’ve ever gone into your attic and noticed it feels hot and stuffy, you have a ventilation problem. Little to no airflow causes humidity buildup in the attic, promoting attic mold growth.

Vents and piping

Exhaust vents, (like those in your bathroom) that are broken or don’t vent outside your roof are another cause for mold growth.

Water and Ice

Dripping water or wet blotches on your ceiling indicate that your attic is harboring mold. In the wintertime, you will likely see icicles forming on the underside of your roof.

Scent

Your nose knows best! Trust your senses. It’s time to call the professionals if you detect a moldy smell in your attic.
