Roof Mold

Most homeowners believe that as long as they do not see visible signs of mold that their environment is free of contamination. What they don't realize, however, is that large accumulations of mold may be growing in areas that they cannot see, like on top of the roof and in remote attic spaces.

It is important to have a licensed roofer come give an inspection of your roof and check for water intrusion. If a leaky roof is suspected, check in the attic for signs of water damage or mold growth. Dry rot may form if mold becomes established in the wood in your home. This type of mold development can cause serious damage to the structure of your home.

The way to control mold growth is to control moisture. Conditions are ideal for mold growth where there is excess moisture or water build up from say, a leaky roof. For this reason, it is always important to have your roof regularly inspected and repaired.
