Attic Mold Removal
Attic mold usually comes from moisture the attic cannot get rid of, most often poor ventilation or a roof leak. H&H Environmental offers mold remediation for attics, and the cause of the moisture has to be corrected as well.
What causes attic mold
Removing mold without fixing the moisture source means it can come back.
Poor ventilation
Soffits blocked by insulation, or no gable or ridge vents, let moist air sit against the roof sheathing.
Bathroom exhaust vented into the attic
Moist air from a bathroom fan that ends in the attic condenses on cold roof boards.
Water from outside
Roof leaks, and chimneys with poor flashing, let water in.
How attic mold is usually found
At a sale
Attic mold is often not noticed until a building inspector points it out while a home is being bought or sold.
Dark staining on the roof boards
Dark patches on the underside of the roof sheathing are a common sign.

Frequently asked questions
Does H&H do the testing and the removal?
H&H offers mold assessment and mold remediation. On a New York mold project, H&H performs either the mold assessment or the mold remediation — never both on the same project.
