Mold in the attic or roofline can occur due to a multitude
of problems in the building: faulty roof ventilation, leaks, excessive humidity, renovations past and present, building
wall construction, mechanical system failures, negative ventilation occuring in the home, amount of people living/working
in the building, mechanical systems in the attic, etc....
Many calls to Envirotest (concerning this subject)
center opon immediately removing the offending odor or unsightly mold (fungus) which is accumulating on the roofline
areas and in the attic space. The conventional thought is: I see mold, I must get rid of it as soon as possible.
It is important to understand, that the immediate removal of mold in the attic space without performing an environmental (mold)
test to determine the problem is akin to throwing money out your windows. Sure, your attic will look good
for about 6 months to a year, but once the mold fighting ability of the anit-fungal chemicals have aged to the point
where they no longer work, the mold will come back more virulent than ever and more likely than not, will have transferred
to another part of your home.
