Mold

At VentMASTER, we determine where the moisture is coming from and how to get rid of it.

Poor attic ventilation can cause significant problems; not the least of which is excess moisture that can enter your attic and cause mold.

In all homes, people create moist air by simply showering, drying clothes, using humidifiers, etc. This warmer moist air rises up toward and through the ceiling into your attic.

In poorly ventilated attics, the moisture condenses on the roof sheathing framing members and insulation and mold can grow.

Some tell tale signs of excessive attic moisture are:

• Rusty roofing nails sticking through the roof sheathing
• Dark and light mold stains
• Icicles forming on the nails during winter months, etc.

At VentMASTER, we determine where the moisture is coming from and how to get rid of it.

We can also recommend industry experts to identify / remediate your mold. Just ask!

Proper ventilation helps prevent moisture from condensing in the structure, insulation and shingles of your home. A well ventilated roof allows air to flow through it preventing condensation and decreasing the likelihood of moisture damage inside and outside your home.
