416-333-4554If you suspect a mould outbreak in the attic, the best course of action is to work with a mould removal professional. The priority, of course, is to identify the source of the mould outbreak and determine the scope of physical damage.
At EcoComfort Insulation & Contracting, we provide comprehensive mould remediation services. We start by thoroughly inspecting your attic. We then test the mould samples (if required). And finally, we provide safe removal and disposal. In most cases, attic mould does not just appear – it’s a direct symptom of the environment in the attic. There may be inadequate air ventilation, there may be moisture accumulation, or there may be a water leak of some sort.
Whatever the cause and scope of a mould outbreak, professional attic mould remediation services are highly recommended. The fact is, mould removal should not be undertaken by anyone other than a qualified mould technician.
Mould grows naturally around us, including inside our homes. In various parts of the house, it can often spread without being visible. Under the right conditions, it can spread very quickly. Mould needs three elements to survive: a moisture source, material to feed on, and limited air circulation.
Because of the environment in the attic, mould has the perfect conditions to grow and thrive. If there’s a significant roof leak, for example, or water trickling into the attic, there’s enough moisture for mould to grow. And here, it’s as simple as repairing the roof leak and remediating the mould.
There are several species of mould that are not harmful to humans. For instance, in the washroom or in the kitchen, you can probably remove small outbreaks of mould by yourself. In the attic, however, things are different. This type of mould removal is best left to professionals like EcoComfort.
With attic mould, it’s essential to be safe and cautious. EcoComfort has the experience and expertise to do the work right. We don’t allow for “cross-contamination” in the home. We don't allow for airborne mould spores to spread. And we ensure the safest disposal to properly protect everyone. When mould ends up in your home, it can destroy your attic insulation in Toronto
Although many species of mould do not pose health risks, some species do. The risks are especially relevant for those with pre-existing health conditions. Mould exposure can cause the eyes, skin, and lungs to be irritated. And for those with allergies, the health symptoms are amplified.
There is no reason for someone to be unnecessarily exposed to mould. If you suspect mould growing in the attic, EcoComfort can provide mould remediation services. We will properly inspect the space, evaluate the scope of the outbreak, and recommend a course of action for repairs.
With a mould outbreak, certain health symptoms may arise, particularly for vulnerable people (pregnant women, young children, and the elderly). The symptoms depend on mould exposure.
Whatever the scope of a mould outbreak, most professionals will recommend removal. While there is no reason to panic, attic mould and attic spores can spread through the air. This will compromise indoor air quality and present additional health risks for everyone in the home.
For the most part, attics are out of sight – which means that mould issues often remain unnoticed and unattended. This is precisely why mould professionals recommend annual attic inspections. While a DIY inspection might be tempting, it does not compare with the professionals.
A proper attic inspection will assess whether installed insulation has been affected by mould. Damages can be identified at an early stage, and insulation performance can be measured. More than that, when insulation issues are identified, professional remedies can be suggested.
When it comes to attic mould, it’s not a good time to take on a DIY approach. This type of work requires proper equipment and protective wear, as well as experience and expertise to do the work.
