Mold in the Attic: What It Means
Attic mold means chronic moisture — from a slow leak, condensation, or bathroom fans venting into the attic instead of outside (extremely common). We identify the moisture source, assess the extent, and recommend remediation scope.
Small areas are often DIY-manageable once the moisture source is fixed; larger growth needs professional remediation. Moss growth is aggressive here — it lifts shingles and holds moisture against the roof surface. Either way, killing mold without fixing moisture is pointless — we address the cause first.

- Chronic moisture is the root cause
