Your Attic Experts.
If you’re suspecting a mould outbreak in your attic, a professional assessment for attic mould remediation is highly recommended. With mould, it’s important to identify the source of the outbreak and to determine the scope of any damage. With EcoComfort Insulation & Contracting, you can be sure of a comprehensive approach to attic mould remediation. We fully inspect your attic; we test mould samples when required; and we undertake safe removal and disposal.
Attic mould is not just an occurrence – it’s a symptom of the attic environment. In fact, when mould infiltrates the attic, there’s also a chance that indoor air quality will be affected. As such, certain health risks may be posed for occupants. That’s why EcoComfort offers a full service approach – with a team of highly trained technicians who are licensed and certified in mould remediation. When it comes to finished results, we’re not satisfied until you are.
Mould is naturally occurring everywhere, including inside our homes. While it often grows without being seen, it can spread quickly under the right conditions. Mould simply needs three things to thrive: organic material to feed; a moisture source; and limited airflow.
As it is, the attic provides perfect conditions for mould to grow and spread. If you’ve had a roof leak or water seeping into the attic, it’s important to check for mould immediately. It’s also just as important stop the accumulation of water and moisture with proper roof leak repairs.
There are certainly some species of mould that aren’t harmful. In the washroom or kitchen, it’s possible to remove mould by yourself. But in the attic, things are different. Attic mould is best left to specialists like EcoComfort who understand mould species and removal options.
With attic mould, it’s better to be safe than sorry. EcoComfort has the tools and equipment to do the work right - without “cross-contaminating” your home with airborne mould spores. From mould removal to disposal, we provide a safe process that protects everyone in the home.

There are certain species of mould that can compromise your health, especially if you have specific health issues. High levels of mould exposure can cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and lungs. People with allergies will suffer more and with symptoms that are amplified.
Bottom line, there’s no reason to be exposed to mould unnecessarily. At the same time, there’s no need to panic. If you suspect mould in the attic, EcoComfort can inspect the space, assess the scope of infiltration, and make recommendations for mould remediation and repairs.
If there are health risks present, EcoComfort will advise on the best course of action. In addition to effective mould remediation, our objective is to provide a home that is totally safe and without the potential for mould to return and grow again. Our results are guaranteed.
Although not all mould species are considered toxic or harmful, inhaling mould spores should be avoided at all cost. Naturally, the gravity of health symptoms is relative, but there are certain groups who are more vulnerable: young children, pregnant women, and the elderly. With symptoms, this too will depend on the individual and to the extent of mould exposure.
If you have a mould infiltration in the attic, a DIY approach to removal is ill advised. To begin with, the health risk is not worth it. But more importantly, mould removal and remediation has to be comprehensive, and it’s the professionals who can eliminate the source most effectively.
EcoComfort technicians know how to do it right – they know where to look for mould – they know how to identify a species – and they know how to properly remediate. The objective, of course, is to eradicate the source of the mould and eliminate the conditions for regrowth.
