Green Attic treats the cause of mold problem and provides house mold treatment and prevention services.

Humidity contributing to mold in your home
Indoor relative humidity (RH) should be kept below 60 percent — ideally between 30 percent and 50 percent, if possible.
Low humidity may also discourage pests (such as cockroaches) and dust mites. Humidity levels can rise in a building as a result of the use of:
• Humidifiers
• Steam radiators
• Moisture-generating appliances such as dryers
• Combustion appliances such as stoves
• Showers
• Heat escape from the attic floor to roof deck

This is evident from the exterior when icicles are present. Often the attic sheathing (roof deck) will have mold, why? Because the heat escapes from the house's living space, it is creating both condensation and warming of the roof deck.

Ventilation For Attic Mold Remediation
• Ventilation can dissipate the heat moisture and condensation will feed mold growth.
• The best solution is to prevent heat escape from the pressure barrier of the living space and conditioned building envelope.
• Mold remediation means treating the cause along with the affected surfaces.
