Is your mold remediation specialist asking the most important question?
“Why is the mold growing here?”
Mold is the symptom. Moisture is the cause.
In this attic, the growth wasn’t random. Two bathroom exhaust fans had been directed toward an eave vent rather than properly terminated outside. That concentrated warm, moisture laden air inside the roof assembly created the conditions visible in these photos.
Cleaning the affected sheathing without correcting the ventilation deficiency would be like mopping the floor while the faucet is still running. It may look better temporarily, but the underlying problem remains.
At Elite Restoration, our inspections go beyond the affected surface. We evaluate ventilation, air leakage, insulation, and other building envelope deficiencies to understand why the problem developed.
With trained and certified technicians in both mold remediation and building science retrofits, we can address the contamination and correct the conditions behind it, all under one roof.
No pun intended.
