If you have mold in your attic, you might not know what to do. Can you take care of it on your own? If not, what should you be searching for? The best way to deal with attic mold is with the mold remediation process.

Mold remediation is a process that completely eliminates mold in your home. It follows these steps:

• First, the mold remediation professional inspects your home for mold with special tools that can help them find hidden mold. For example, since mold loves moisture, one tool they can use is a moisture meter to find places where mold could be growing. This is especially useful in a dark attic with cramped spaces where it might be hard to find mold visually.
• If the mold remediation professional finds mold, they will contain the mold so it doesn't spread during the removal process.
• Then, the mold removal will start. The mold remediator will carefully remove and treat mold.
• Finally, the mold remediator will help you find the cause of your mold. For an attic, this might be a roof leak, ice dams clogging the gutters, or high humidity. Once the water damage is fixed, the mold should not return.

When Should I Call a Professional?

Once you suspect you have mold in your attic, you should call a mold remediator. Mold can cause allergy symptoms and asthma attacks. If you've been feeling poorly without an explanation, it's just one more reason to call a professional.

Mold removal is hard to do thoroughly on your own, especially in a small, dark space like an attic. If you don't get it all the first time, you'll need to call for help when the mold comes back.
