Attic Mold Removal in Toronto

Performing an attic mold removal in Toronto is often the last thing a homeowner is thinking of. On the ever-growing list of things to do, the attic is easily forgotten, especially if it isn’t useable living space or storage. With many attic access points hidden away in closets, it’s easy to forget that it even exists.

At MoldTech, our focus is on safely removing mold from residential and commercial properties, and we rarely forget about attics, since they’re one of the first places we generally find mold growing in a home. Mold can grow unseen and unnoticed in an attic, and cause damage to your property and health problems for your family, so it’s important to have it removed and your home remediated as soon as you suspect there is a problem. MoldTech offers attic mold removal in Toronto to quickly assess your attic and recommend the best course of action.

What is Attic Mold?

Mold is a naturally occurring part of the environment - but of course we would all prefer that it occurs outside of the home! While not inherently bad or toxic, mold growing indoors can wreak havoc on your home, damaging or weakening materials like studs and drywall, or ruining furniture, papers, or stored objects. Having an attic mold removal in Toronto performed promptly can save homeowners a great deal of time, money, and stress, because mold can spread rapidly and it’s not always visible to the naked eye.

MoldTech has specialized in mold removal and remediation for almost fifteen years, giving us a wealth of experience when it comes to performing attic mold removal in Toronto. Because attic mold can appear in a number of different ways, having a professional assess the space and take samples will help determine the best way to remove the mold for good. Mold spreads via small airborne spores, and can penetrate deep into soft items or porous surfaces, making removal tricky.

Removing Mold Promptly Affects your Health

Mold can cause property damage and ruin drywall, insulation or other building materials, but those things are easy to replace - your health is not. As mold sends out spores to colonize new locations, those spores are breathed in or affect your mucous membranes, such as your eyes and nose. For the young, elderly, or those struggling with chronic disease, these mold spores can cause serious health setbacks and trouble. But even for a healthy person, mold spores can cause itchy eyes, headaches, and other symptoms that can make life uncomfortable. These concerns are why having a prompt attic mold removal in Toronto is necessary as soon as you suspect that mold may be growing in your home.

What Causes Attic Mold

Mold can grow in many places in your house, but at MoldTech, we generally start our assessments in one of two places - top on our list is the attic, because as one of the generally least trafficked and used areas of your home, mold can grow for a long time undisturbed before it is discovered. We frequently find mold growing in the attic, and have to provide attic mold removal in Toronto for a number of reasons. When mold grows in an attic, it’s almost always caused by excess moisture buildup. This can enter your attic in a number of ways - improperly connected bathroom, kitchen, or dryer fans which have been vented into the attic is one way. Condensation forming on your roof sheathing can also cause a great deal of damage, especially during the cold winter months when the temperature differential between your conditioned inside air, and the icy outdoor temperature is too great.

Identifying Attic Mold

Mold can take a number of different forms, and it’s good at evading detection. While moisture is always a factor in mold growth, there are two other key elements that it needs to thrive in your attic, and most attics serve these up in spades. Temperature is the first element - optimal mold growth happens in a range of 0-50 degrees celsius, especially where there is little air movement, such as an attic. While providing attic mold removal in Toronto, we come across a lot of the third element that mold needs to grow - food. Ideal mold food is anything organic: wood, textiles, insulation, paper, anything. Even if you don’t use your attic for storage, during attic mold removal in Toronto we often find ourselves removing a ton of contaminated materials that have been affected by mold growth.

Attic Mold Removal in Toronto

Once mold has been detected in your attic, the next step is to safely remove it. While the internet may recommend hardware store remedies or even household bleach, the best thing you can do for your home is have a professional attic mold removal in Toronto,  and it’s the only way to ensure that the mold is gone for good.

MoldTech prioritizes safety first during any attic mold removal in Toronto. By isolating our workspace and using high-grade industrial air filtration systems, we can ensure that no mold spores are accidentally transported to other parts of your home. After all contaminated materials are safely removed, the MoldTech team can begin cleaning. Leaving your home spotless is the most important outcome - cleaning helps remove all last traces of mold spores and helps kill lingering growth that has grown into the structure of your home. If it’s not cleaned properly, mold will return, and ensuring this last step is performed thoroughly means that you can feel confident that your attic is successfully remediated.
