For help dealing with attic mold we recommend scheduling a free in home consultation with a qualified mold remediation specialist. In addition you need to purchase a mold killing paint rather than the resistant variety as this is the only way to deal with already existing mold. A mold resistant paint won t solve your moisture problems but it makes it harder for mold to take hold and spread across your walls thanks to the way the paint is made. Mold in the attic or anywhere for that matter can be a health and safety hazard when you spot it you have to act fast.

If one encapsulates attic mold with a clear sealant like many mold remediation companies do future home inspectors and homeowners won t have any idea if the visible black white mold staining in the attic is. This moisture can drip onto the attic floor or down the roof ceilings creating a perfect scenario for mold growth. It is better to paint over mold with a mold killing paint rather than with a mold resistant paint otherwise you will often find that the infestation will keep spreading. An experienced professional will visit your home inspect your attic and other areas for mold and advise you about the best way to remove the mold and how to prevent mold from returning again after it is removed.

A good way to check the ventilation status of your attic is to turn off all the lights in the attic on a sunny day and look for points of light appearing.
