Finding and Remediating Attic Mold in Your Concord Home
While it occurs most commonly throughout the winter months, attic mold can happen in your Concord home any time of the year. With so many homeowners never using their attic space or checking on its condition regularly, this is a problem that can quickly get out of control without professional intervention. Unfortunately, many of these same homeowners do not recognize a mold problem until it has begun to affect the floors below the attic and in dire need of immediate remediation.
While you might not have a good idea of when mold in the attic of your Concord home could occur, damage to your home’s roof is often to blame. These vulnerabilities are particularly exploited in freezing temperatures when thinning insulation can allow hot spots to occur on your roof and melt snow when the temperature is still well below freezing. The result is flash freezing, ice damming, and damage to the shingles of your roof which can allow snowmelt to create a damp environment of your attic.
When our SERVPRO team gets notified of mold growth in your home, we can arrive quickly with the personnel and equipment to make a difference. Our IICRC certified remediation technicians can contain the colonization to prevent further spreading throughout your home while we get started on the removal of the growth.
When we address mold growth occurring in the attic of your home, we also have to identify the penetration points for moisture coming through the roof. Moisture detection and thermal imagery can help determine where these hot spots are and direct our contracting division where reconstruction or repairs must occur to prevent further damage in the immediate future.
While regular inspections of your attic space might help to prevent widespread mold colonization in this area, most homeowners do not recognize a problem until it requires our experienced approach to resolve. Give our SERVPRO of Marlboro / Concord remediation specialists a call anytime that you need us at (978) 486-9868.
