Mold Remediation & Insulation Overhaul in Lake Orion, MI
Challenge
This homeowner knew when he reached out to TCI that he had mold issues in the attic and was interested in upgrading insulation. Upon inspection the homeowner was right! The attic was found with a few issues including: minimum fiberglass batt insulation, blocked soffit vents, as well as visible mold on the sheathing or underside of the roof.
Solution
Our solution? A combination of things to not only make the home more comfortable year-round but ensure the attic was 'breathing' appropriately so mold wouldn't return. In order to do this, TCI had to do a few things:
-Removed all the mold! All mold was spray treated and the attic fogged with an anti-microbial solution
-Removed the old fiberglass batt insulation as well as vacuumed and prepared for air sealing
-Air sealed the attic floor and replaced ineffective baffles
-Lastly, the hatch was insulated with foam board and the attic was insulated with cellulose
