Jim and Beth were in the process of selling their Westport home. When the buyer had a home inspection done, it was discovered that there was mold in the attic. Jim and Beth didn’t have a long time to complete the home sale that was now contingent upon remediating the mold. Buying or selling a home can be a stressful, expensive, and time-sensitive process even when everything is uneventful - when Jim and Beth made this upsetting discovery, they needed help right away.
Your attic is one of the most common locations for mold to grow in your home. Mold spores are present almost everywhere, and only need a few conditions to grow: Moderate temperatures, moisture, and organic materials - like wood. Attic mold is most frequently caused by leaks in your roof or siding that allows moisture into the areas. Bad ventilation and insulation issues can also lead to temperature contrasts that create condensation in your attic. Additionally, if your kitchen, bathroom, and dryer exhaust vents send warm, moist air into your attic, mold can grow.
When mold grows in your attic, it can cause numerous problems. Too many mold spores in the air can cause respiratory health issues for the occupants of your home. The wood and other materials that the mold is growing on will eventually suffer from structural damage as well. Because of these problems, it’s essential to get professional help with mold remediation as soon as you discover it.
When Jim and Beth learned about the mold in their attic, they started a frantic search for local Westport mold remediation experts. During his search, Jim appreciated that Caleb was the only restoration company owner that answered the phone personally. Caleb was able to immediately offer assurance that everything will be alright and the mold could be remediated in time to complete the home sale: When they connected, the closing date was only a week away. Riverside Restoration was able to step in and get the job done in time.
