Mold in attics can be visible or hidden and cause a variety of health issues . To safeguard your family from the hidden dangers of attic mold, it is critical to get a professional attic inspection periodically or anytime there has been a moisture breach in your siding or roofing.

Mold growth is a significant health issue that can cause a myriad of symptoms that can be minor or severe and in some cases even life threatening. Allergic reactions to mold spores are especially dangerous to infants, pregnant women, the elderly and people will preexisting conditions or weakened immune systems.

Symptoms including respiratory issues, eye irritation, sneezing, coughing or throat soreness, headaches, rash and sinus congestion are common in households that harbor mold spores.

Ice damming: Ice Dams occur when water is unable to drain properly from your roof. Water freezes,and backs up into the house through the attic. Inadequate attic ventilation: Warm moist air trapped in the attic can begin the cycle of mold growth. Improperly installed insulation: If the the attic is not insulated properly with the correct materials and placement, moisture from the home rises and gets trapped in the attic feeding mold growth.
