Common causes in Erie attics
- Warm, moist household air leaking into a cold attic during long winters
- Bathroom or kitchen fans venting into the attic instead of outside
- Blocked soffit vents or inadequate ventilation
- Roof leaks and ice dams
What a pro may do
Treat or remove mold on sheathing and framing, replace wet insulation, and recommend ventilation or air-sealing fixes so it doesn't return.
Common questions
Is attic mold dangerous?
Attic mold is often isolated from living space, but it can damage wood and insulation and should be addressed, along with its moisture cause.
Will a new roof fix attic mold?
Not necessarily. If the cause is ventilation or air leakage, mold can return under a new roof.
