Attic Mold

Most people only find out about the mold under the roof plywood when they are in the process of either buying or selling their house. In some cases, it may be required to replace the plywood as well as the roof. There are other cost-effective ways to fix this issue, such as using a spray to stop mold growth.

It is necessary to address all the ventilation issues before remedying the mold. Feel free to get in touch with us to book an appointment.

What are the signs of mold inside the attic?

If you see any dark color spots or patches anywhere on the ceiling, that can be a form of mold. A visual inspection of the attic is a great way to find the presence of mold inside the attic. 

Alternatively, a mold testing kit can be used to detect mold anywhere in the house. Our professional team can also help you find any mold-related issues as we provide free inspections. 

How to get rid of mold in my attic?

Mold grows due to a lack of ventilation and increased moisture levels inside the attic. It is best to find and address the root cause of the mold before starting to remove or fix it.

In most cases, we replace the moldy plywood at the time of roof replacement. Mold can also be scraped off of the surface before spraying the surface with mold spray to prevent mold from occurring again. 

Can I just paint over the moldy surface?

It is not recommended to apply paint on top of the mold, before fixing the root cause of the issue. Hiding mold under the paint can even worsen the problem as the moisture gets trapped under the paint and the mold can grow even more rapidly.

Once the root cause has been addressed and the mold has been cleaned, then only you should consider painting the surface.

I had contacted Real blue roofing Service to do insulation in the attic and install two washroom vents on my roof. The Real blue team who came were very Professional, and first thing explained to me what they were doing. So they first removed all the old insulation, installed two vents and plus two extra vents on the roof. They worked very hard with no water break or lunch break and on the way they took pictures of before and after. Also after the job completed they vacuumed the full area including the carpet on the stairs and left our very clean. Mr. Dill Singh all hats off for a superb job your team did at our place. This is the second time I have used this company, many years back they installed a new roof, and when I saw them in this new business and expansion I right away call them no doubt I had some more estimates from different Attic companies. If any one needs a roof replaced or attic take care they are the people you need to contact. I strongly recommend this company Real Blue Roofing Services for any work, their pricing is very reasonable and take the liberty to explain the full estimate and what needs to be done. Once again Mr. Dill Singh and your team who you deployed I don't know their names I personally thank you for their hard work (specially the guy who was in the attic doing the job). they worked very diligently, with no water breaks or lunch break in between, you very rarely find such honest, hard working and diligent workers. Please thank your crew on our behalf. This is why I gave them 5 stars, I could talk a lot about this company, but right now I say eyes closed if you need something done please don't hesitate to contact Real Blue Roofing Services. I would had pictures but I have not received them.

I thank you for your amazing service. It is almost a miracle today to receive such a good and reliable service. Quick response to when I called, thorough investigation of the problems, the repair is done perfectly and fast. And for me also very important the honest, respectful communication, a feeling of trust that is hard to find. I will never take my business elsewhere. Thank you Deepak and your team!!!
