This home was on the market to be sold and a home inspection showed mold like substance on the sheathing and trusses in the attic space. Our company was called into remediate the attic, we used Mold X2 and Mold X2 Botanical products to clean the space. We also cleared all the soffit vents of debris and insulation and added new rafter venting. The space was cleaned and passed final inspection the new homeowners were happy we could do the job so quickly.
Our customer purchased their home with the understanding that he needed to have the mold remediated in the attic. Once possession was taken our company was scheduled to clean the attic before he moved in. We used Mold X2 and Mold X2 Botanical products to clean the attic space. The ventilation was also corrected to ensure no reoccurrence.
Mold was found in the attic due to blocked ventilation. We had to treat the mold for sure, but we didn't ever want it to come back so we added 52 brand new baffles to ensure air flow.
This wood came out looking brand new, as if it had been replaced! We spray treated with RMR-86 and almost like magic, we were able to remediate this mold and take care of all the staining too.
Your attic needs to 'breathe'. Sounds a little funny but it's true! There should be air coming in and air going out, passively controlled by ventilation. While there are different types of ventilation, they need to be installed correctly and working appropriately for the amount of space you have. In this 'before' photo you can see that the insulation is pushed all the way up against the wood sheathing (the underside of your roof) and there are no baffles in place. This is preventing air from flowing upwards and through the soffits (a type of intake ventilation) into the attic and out which can lead to moisture, which WILL lead to mold. In our 'after' photo, you can see that the insulation is pulled back the slightest bit and a baffle (imagine a snorkel) is placed to allow airflow, it creates a snorkel, or chute for air to come in. We treated the mold and the underlying cause so it doesn't return!
