Mold Remediation in Attic

Mold grows wherever it has the proper combination of moisture, temperature, and organic matter. Attics are a common area of concern when they are not properly ventilated. Moisture and heat accumulate, and building materials provide food for the microbes.

Here at SERVPRO®, we frequently respond to calls regarding mold growth, particularly during humid summer months. In July, we were called to provide an estimate for the attic of a commercial building.

First Step – Contain the Contamination

The first step in a mold remediation job is to contain the area so that none of the spores get transferred to other parts of the building. We contained the contamination by setting up a barrier and using a negative air machine to draw air in without allowing it to flow out of the area.

Next step – Remove the Contaminants

This job involved HEPA vacuuming then cleaning the affected surfaces. We also used a HEPA-filtered air scrubber to remove airborne particulates including microbial spores and bacteria. With the negative air situation already established, we were able to cycle through all the air in the attic.

Final step – Apply Anti-Microbial Solution

We finished this mold remediation job by applying an all-natural anti-microbial solution to deter future microbial growth.

If you see mold in your attic, our certified technicians have the training and expertise to remediate the situation. We are always “Here to Help.”
