Puget Sound Mold Remediation
The last thing you want is mold infestation.
Puget Sound Mold
The last thing you want is mold infestation. Unfortunately, the persistent Pacific Northwest rain causes mold to thrive. While many homeowners know what mold is, they are usually in the dark about its long-lasting negative effects, and how to remove it. If left untreated, mold spreads rapidly, polluting your airflow, and contaminating your household.
Taking on a mold infestation is dangerous, so make sure to call in a professional mold removal team. Here at Green Attic, we help homeowners across Snohomish, Pierce, and King Counties eliminate mold at the source.
Don’t Wait For Your Mold Problem To Get Worse
Warning Signs of Mold
It can be hard to spot mold until it’s too late. Here are a few warning signs that mold could be growing in your crawl space or attic.
- Wet insulation
- Asthma or allergy symptoms
- Warped or damaged floorboards
- High energy bills
- Deteriorating air quality
- Musty or foul smells
What Causes Mold?
Essentially, mold spores are always in the air, but issues arise when they begin to rapidly multiply. While mold growth can be influenced by a variety of factors, moisture is the common denominator.
Lack of Air Ventilation
A moist environment combined with a lack of airflow is a recipe for mold growth. This is because clean air can not enter, contaminated air can’t be filtered out, and condensation forms. To ensure proper air ventilation, you’ll want to make sure debris or insulation is not blocking the vents in your attic or crawl space.
Roof Leak
Mold infestations occur in areas with a high amount of moisture or humidity. Oftentimes a leaky roof creates condensation turning your attic into a moist environment for mold growth.
Plumbing Leak
A plumbing leak can result in standing water in your crawl space. Standing water creates wet insulation and a moist environment, leading to mold growth.
Ground Moisture
Moisture from the underground soil can enter your crawl space, creating wet and humid conditions for mold growth.
