Attic mould should be removed by an experienced mould remediation firm.
Health Canada’s Residential Indoor Air Quality Guidelines indicate that mould in residential buildings may be a health hazard. The risk varies by species but Health Canada recommends all mold be treated as potentially harmful. Mould growths usually contain a mixture of species, and people can be exposed to many airborne moulds in buildings.
RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDE:
- Repair of water damage and prevention of humidity to limit mould growth
- Removal of visible and concealed mould regardless of the mould species
THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS FOR MOULD GROWTH IN AN ATTIC:
- Soffits are blocked with insulation or not properly vented for another reason
- Bathroom or other household exhausts are venting moisture into the attic space
- Lack of roof vents
- Not enough or too much insulation
- Leaking roofChimney flashings not installed, leaking, or installed improperly
