Many Central VA and Washington DC homeowners have, at one time or another, have dealt with mold in their attics or other areas of the home.
It’s not a pretty sight.
Mold can cause severe damage to your home, your health, and your wallet, especially if the problem is ignored or put off.
While there are many websites out there boasting simple DIY fixes to attack mold, in most cases, it’s best to leave it to the professionals.
Let’s break down everything you need to know about attic mold and the remediation process!
Generally speaking, determining whether or not your attic has a mold problem is a pretty simple process. Mold growth is the result of excess moisture build-up within the attic, which is most commonly caused by condensation. Mold grows quickly in dark, moist environments, so a quick visual inspection typically shows just how severe your mold problem has become.
Even if you do not have visible signs of mold, our state-of-the-art mold testing technology can determine the amount of harmful airborne mold spores in your attic. We utilize Instascope® technology to give Central VA and Washington DC homeowners instant results that are 99% accurate.
Mold remediation services are a time game. You want to start eradicating mold as quickly as possible after you are aware of the situation. Mold that is left unattended can quickly and easily spread to other areas of the attic or home, which can then lead to expensive and time-consuming repairs.
Once we have identified your mold problem, we can determine the right solution and get to work. The first step is first to contain the mold in its original location to prevent mold spores from making their way into a new hiding spot.
Mold growth that’s caused by a leak in the roof is typically small in diameter and much easier to contain than full attic infestations. This is something we’ll assess during our inspection.
Our unique mold removal process requires zero toxic chemicals — just good old-fashioned elbow grease and dedication. If the affected area takes up the majority of or all of your attic, there are alternative remediation efforts we can take.
During the demolition phase, all porous materials that contain harmful mold spores will be removed to be professionally cleaned before being brought back into the home. All other materials that cannot be saved will be discarded in an environmentally friendly manner.
We highly recommend soda blasting for all attics, basements, and crawl spaces that have a substantial amount of mold damage on the wooden areas. We quite literally blast baking soda over each surface containing mold growths to strip away the harmful fungus without compromising the surface beneath.
The benefits of utilizing soda blasting for your attic mold problem include:
We may not be the cheapest, but we are the absolute best at what we do. Unfortunately, the mold remediation world is full of unreputable contractors who offer a cheap temporary fix that will end up biting you in the wallet in the long run.
Not only do we eliminate all signs of harmful mold from your attic, but our certified technicians will figure out exactly why mold has developed in the first place while suggesting tried-and-true long-lasting solutions. Remediation is all about solving the problem head-on without cutting any corners or skipping steps.

Mold poses very serious health risks and should always be taken seriously, no matter how large of an infestation. Attempting to eradicate mold growth on your own is a potentially dangerous chore and should never be attempted unless the area is less than 10 square feet.
