Mold in Attics

Attic mold is often discovered during real estate inspections or after a roof leak. Ventilation and roof condition are the most common factors.

Common Causes

Roof leaks, plumbing vent leaks, bathroom exhaust fans venting into the attic instead of outside, and inadequate attic ventilation.

What Inspectors Look For

Staining on sheathing, visible growth on rafters or insulation, moisture readings on wood and insulation, and signs of past or active leaks.

Fixing the Source First

Remediating attic mold without addressing the moisture source typically leads to regrowth. Inspection identifies both the mold and what's causing it.
