With four months of winter right around the corner, it’s an opportune time to make sure that attic maintenance has been addressed. While many homeowners might focus on attic insulation and roof structure, it’s equally important to inspect the attic for mould deposits.

A professional assessment of the attic and roof cavity can quickly determine whether mould exists, and if you require attic mould removal. The fact is, attic mould is not uncommon, and the attic is an ideal environment for mould to establish a feeding ground (and start growing).

Some common tell-tale signs that mould is growing in your attic

Because your attic has the perfect conditions for mould, it makes sense to check the space annually. It’s warm and humid, and there is plenty of organic material to feed on. Left unattended year after year, mould can easily grow undisturbed – and then cause problems.

Without an annual inspection, many homeowners find out too late about a mould outgrowth. It makes attic mould removal essential (and sometimes with additional structural repairs). The key is to detect the mould early and deal with the issue promptly and professionally.

If there are dark black stains on the wood in your attic, it’s likely a sign that mould has started to feed. In assessing the extent of infiltration, attic mould removal would be needed.
If your attic feels extremely hot or stuffy it means that the space is not properly ventilated. Mould thrives in a space that is hot, humid, and poorly ventilated (all of them tell-tell signs).
If you’ve had a roof leak or plumbing leak in the attic, wet insulation can quickly become a feeding ground for mould. Worst case, both the mould and insulation will have to be removed.
If you smell stale odours or mustiness coming from the attic, it’s a sure sign of a moisture problem. That musty, mouldy smell can also indicate that mould is growing and thriving.
If you find water dripping from a smoke detector, light fixture, or washroom fan, it means that the floor of attic has excessive air moisture and condensation – ideal for mould to grow.

If mould has already infiltrated your attic, there’s also a chance that the air throughout the home will be affected. This is a time when professional attic mould removal will be required. When detected early on, professionals can eliminate the source and ensure any recurrence.

Very efficient service from quote to the completion of the job 2 days later. Thanks to EcoComfort, we now have baffles in our two attic spaces as well as insulation that went from extremely poor (builder's quality of 4") to R60. We're extremely happy with the work done and would not hesitate to recommend EcoComfort. Thank you very much!!

Your guys have done a fantastic job. Excellent quality service. Hard work with friendly smiling faces. I interacted all of them throughout the day. A+ team. Please pass it on. Thank you.

From inspection, quote, job, clean up and final inspection of the finished work, Eco Comfort Insulation did a fantastic job. They answered all my questions in detail during the initial consult, and did a great job. They cleaned up properly, and left after I was satisfied. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to increase their attic insulation. Thank you.

I'm very pleased with EcoComfort. I called them for an attic insulation top up. After the first phone call, someone came to have a quick look at my attic. A few weeks later, two men and their truck came and increased my attic insulation from R21 to R60 with blown-in cellulose. I appreciate that they use Canadian materials (Climatizer Plus). The work only took a few hours and they left everything just as they found it, nice and clean. My house feels a little cozier now with the added insulation. Thanks a lot!

EcoComfort did a fantastic job adding insulation to my home. Their expertise, professionalism, knowledge and scheduling are incomparable to any other Contractor I've experienced. Great team and a smooth process. Well done!

Everything went smoothly, and I am very happy with the work. Your team was great explaining the work that needed to be done and providing me with pics of the work before and after thanks Arnold and Patrick. I would highly recommend you guys to anyone who asks me about your services.

I had a wonderful experience with the Ecocomfort team. I originally hired them to top up my builder-grade insulation from 8 inches all the way up to 24 inches which is approx R-70 and they did a fantastic job. A huge shout-out to the entire team including Arnold, Patrick, Daniel, Louis, Adam, and Paul. Every one of them was friendly, professional and efficient.

Ecocomfort did a great job, arrived on time, efficient, cleaned up any mess, polite workers, all in all, a job well done!

The EcoComfort team was excellent. from making contact, quoting, to a first-rate insulation job. The guys were friendly, fast, and left no mess. I would recommend them

Very unusual these days to find a home contractor who in fact lives up to or exceeds their claims and online revues. Wojtek was prompt, courteous, extremely knowledgeable and very patient.........he answered all my questions. Patrick, his brother and his two colleagues arrived on time, were careful and tidy, did an excellent job and cleaned up beautifully. I was skeptical of the purported benefits of adding attic insulation but during this recent late summer heat wave I have not required air conditioning during the day and only a bit overnight. Aside from potential future energy savings, the benefits were immediately evident. I would highly recommend Ecocomfort to anyone considering anything they do.

For 800 sq ft attics - EcoComfort Insulation price was HALF what 2 other insulation contractors quoted me. Very professional starting from the quote (Wojtek) - who explained the process, to the guys who did installation, very efficient and professional, - vacuumed and cleaned afterwards - can't wait to see how it retains the heat on these colder evenings. Highly recommend them.

Tom and co. were amazing!! They just completed the job within 3hrs and I had zero insulation to begin with so it was a big job. They were truly professional, cleaned up after the job and walked me through the inspection. Ontop of that, they also helped fix a small leak in the roof which they noticed during the job!! That's service beyond and above and truly appreciated!! Looking forward now to having warmth in the bedrooms this coming winter and would definitely recommend EcoComfort to anyone! You guys are awesome...

We had a great experience with EcoComfort. Arnold attended our home to provide us with a quote, and he explained the whole process and answered any questions we had. The insulation itself went well- two workers came to do the job. They cleaned up afterwards. We already notice a difference with our second floor feeling less hot in the summer heat now that we have our attic insulation done!

EcoComfort was such a pleasure to work with! Patrick, Tom, and Jack were very detailed, cared about the work and our concerns, and provided expert advice. They were kind and patient and explained all the steps they took. Very professional group of people. They were clean and efficient in their work. Highly recommend EcoComforts services. The whole process was seamless.

I hired EcoComfort Insulation after researching the more labour-intensive option to replace the batting by hand. It was like a mountain range of pink batts in the attic which was honestly a bit terrifying. Patrick sent a crew with a truck which sucked the old, dusty, pink stuff out and blew in new R60+ cellulose. I am so happy I went with this installation method and it was well worth spending the extra money.

I had Eco Comfort in recently to blow in new insulation after we had recently taken down and installed a new ceiling. Everything went very well. Everything from getting the quote, scheduling the work, and the team coming out went very smoothly. Everyone was very friendly and the crew did a great job. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

The guys did a spectacular job in removing the old insulation and replacing it with cellulose. They were friendly, efficient and professional. They also installed a bathroom roof vent for better air circulation AND installed weatherstripping for our attic hatch. After work was done, they cleaned up the minimal dust that occurred and left our place as if they were never there. This company provides awesome service. Hire them!
