Attic Sheathing Remediations

Moulds are microscopic fungi that live on organic matter. They produce spores which can be air-borne, water-borne or insect-borne and are highly adapted to grow and rapidly reproduce under the right conditions. The 3 primary conditions mould spores require to grow are a warm environment (47-120 degrees F), nutrients (something to eat- organic matter) and moisture/water. A warm environment and nutrients are part of most indoor spaces. However, when there is excessive moisture mould will thrive.

Attics can be extremely moist environments and excellent breeding grounds for mould when lack of ventilation and excessive moisture exists. Attic deficiencies such as improper bathroom exhausts, blocked attic vents, improper insulation and lack of weather stripping on trapdoors can all significantly increase moisture and lead to mould growth. You may wonder why mould in your attic is a problem. It is a problem because if an attic has mould growing in it, those mould spores may travel throughout your home or business, into bedrooms, livings spaces and work environments, causing a number of health issues. Mould can be very toxic and have particularly strong health repercussions for children, the elderly and those with a weakened immune system or respiratory conditions.For more visit: https://absolutemoldremoval.ca/
