Mold Remediation Photo Album: A Moldy Attic in Evansville, IN
In Evansville, IN, during another home inspection for a different cause, the homeowner was told that there was suspected mold in the attic. When it came to the inspection for the mold, there was plenty visible on the ceiling. It is recommended to remove mold as soon as it is found. Many people are sensitive to high concentrations of mold spores in the air. They will react to allergy-like symptoms. Being exposed to high concentrations of mold spores for extended periods can cause sensitivity in some people to those they were not allergic to before.
There was mold spotted on the dark wooden beams of the ceiling that was white and fuzzy in some areas. The mold was scrubbed and sprayed through a mold remediation process. The spray is useful for cleaning beyond the soil load and accomplishes total source removal. This leaves behind a contaminate-free surface. Once the mold prevention was taken care of, the homeowner was ecstatic to know that their attic would be safe to venture into.
