Homeowners and business owners should steer clear of companies who perform air quality testing and mold removal services, as this does indicate a conflict of interest which may lead to deceitful results.

Mold Removal From Attic & Crawlspace
Mold is fine, furry growth of fungi on decaying matter or objects that are left on moist warm air. An attic on the other hand refers to the space or room below the roof of a house. In Toronto, molds are known to halt the sale of a house, as most owners do not inspect the presence of molds until that time when building inspectors actually come in to check out the house. This has been known to cause lots of distress as it leads to costly delays that otherwise would have been avoided all the same with frequent inspections of molds within the attic. Before discussing mold removal in attics, it is important to find out some of the causes of these molds.
Most molds in attics are caused by leakages that at times have not been discovered over a period of time. They could be in the roof or chimney. At other times, soffits that are not properly ventilated or blocked by insulation may be a cause of molds. The absence of ridge or vent along the length of the roof can contribute to the presence of molds. Bathrooms are known to have exhausted venting that stretch into the attic. During the escape of moisture from the bathroom, it hits the sheathing, which eventually comes into contact with cold air from outside thereby causing condensation, which creates mold optimal conditions. All these conditions need careful planning for effective mold removal in attics.
Of course, the best remedy for all these problems is prevention. It is important for house owners to make regular inspections of houses. As much as time is limited, routine checks to see if all the ventilators are functional, and replacing any insulators with defects is important. Because one may strive to remove the molds, but if the conditions that necessitate them are not addressed, all the removal processes become useless. Secondly, use attic mold multi-treatment process to remove mold. Try to contain the molds by using 6 ml poly Plastics. Vacuum all the surfaces before applying biocide to prevent any future growth of molds. Finally supply all the rooms with negative air to avoid contamination from spreading. This will ensure the efficient mold removal from attics.
When mold is found in your attic or crawlspace, it's important to get it cleaned up. Mold in those areas can lead to serious health problems and need to be dealt with right away.

PROCEDURE TO REMOVE MOLD IN ATTIC
1. Mold Inspection: A mold inspection is conducted by a mold inspector that is IICRC certified, highly trained, and considered a mold expert. Thermal imaging is necessary to do a proper and thorough inspection, moisture meters and hygrometers may also be needed.
2. Identify the source: The mold specialist will identify why the mold has grown. Most typical mold sources in the attic are improper ventilation and insulation as well as roof leaks.
3. Proper containment needs to be set up as well as negative air machines that need to be installed. This seals off the attic and prevents the mold from spreading to the rest of your home.
4. Media Blasting can now be performed, either by soda blasting or dry ice blasting. This is the only effective way to remove mold from your attic and will get into all of the nooks and crevices that otherwise would never be reached.
5. Hepa Sandwich is the only way to effectively remove all of the mold spores. This is done by HEPA vacuuming your attic, then cleaning, and then HEPA vacuuming again. This may need to be done several times throughout the entire process. Air scrubbers and negative air machines need to be running which will also aid in the removal of the mold spores.
6. Insulation Removal. Once all the mold has been removed from the attic, the contaminated insulation needs to be removed.
7. Insulation Replacement and Ventilation. Now that the attic is emptied out, proper ventilation can be installed and new, fresh installation can be blown in.
8. Final Fogging. A final fogging of the attic will be complete to provide a final sealant. Once this is complete all equipment and containments will be removed.
