Every component of attic mold addressed: the visible growth, the substrate, and the cause.
🔍
Attic Mold Assessment & Ventilation Survey
Assessment covers sheathing moisture content readings, growth extent mapping, identification of all exhaust fans terminating inside the attic, vent count versus square footage comparison, and ridge vent assessment. Written findings before scope proposal.
🔨
Roof Deck Sheathing Mold Treatment
Attic mold treatment begins with wire-brush or HEPA vacuum removal of loose spore material from accessible sheathing surfaces, followed by application of EPA-registered fungicide and penetrating borate solution. For sheathing with advanced fungal digestion compromising structural integrity, replacement sections are recommended and documented in the scope.
💨
Bathroom & Kitchen Exhaust Fan Rerouting
Improperly terminated fans rerouted to exterior via insulated flex duct to gable, soffit, or roof termination cap. Sealed at both ends, properly insulated to prevent condensation in the duct.
🏔
Soffit Vent Addition & Ridge Vent Assessment
Additional soffit vents where NFA is insufficient. Eave bays cleared of insulation obstruction and baffled to maintain airflow pathway. Ridge vent assessed for blockage or inadequate design.
😵
Attic Insulation Removal Where Contaminated
Contaminated insulation — whether wet from roof infiltration or heavily spore-laden — is removed under containment and replaced with fresh material. Insulation removal is scoped based on assessment findings, not assumed in every job.
📄
Post-Remediation Clearance & Moisture Verification
Post-treatment sheathing moisture content re-check plus independent post-remediation air sampling from within the attic and from living spaces below confirms that treatment and ventilation correction achieved the intended outcome. Written clearance report suitable for insurance and real estate use in Newport News, VA.
