Attics rarely get a second look until something forces the issue — a stain on the ceiling, a musty smell in the room below, or ice damming in winter. By then, a roof leak or ventilation problem may have been feeding moisture into the space for a while. We handle the inspection, the remediation, and — since we're a restoration company that also does roof work — the actual repair that stops it from happening again.
We check the roof deck, framing, and insulation to find both the growth and its source.
Affected wood and materials are treated or removed following standard containment practices.
If a leak is the source, we repair it directly instead of just treating the symptoms below it.
Poor airflow traps warm, moist air against the roof deck — we correct ventilation when it's contributing to the problem.
Wet or moldy insulation is replaced, since damaged insulation won't perform properly even after cleanup.
Soffit cleaning and barrier installation as needed to keep the attic system working as intended.
A moisture reading confirmed what the staining showed, then the affected sheathing was treated directly.
Since we handle roof work too, the leak feeding the mold gets fixed in the same visit.
If you're not sure whether the issue is in your attic, crawlspace, or somewhere else, start with a free mold inspection. We also handle crawlspace mold remediation and general mold remediation throughout the home.
Because Complete Restoration also handles roof services, attic mold remediation isn't just cleanup — we can fix the leak or ventilation issue that caused it, all under one team.
Yes — the initial inspection is completely free. Cost after that depends on the extent of the growth and whether roof repairs or insulation replacement are also needed. You'll get a written remediation quote before any work starts.
The two most common causes are a roof leak letting water in, and poor ventilation trapping warm, moist air against the underside of the roof deck.
A musty smell in upstairs rooms, visible staining on ceilings, or ice damming in winter are all signs worth having checked.
Yes. We assess the source of the leak and can handle roof repairs as part of the same project.
If insulation is wet or moldy, yes — we replace it as part of the remediation, since damaged insulation won't perform properly even after cleaning.
Often, yes. If poor ventilation is contributing to moisture buildup, we'll recommend ventilation improvements alongside the remediation.
Most attic remediation projects take one to two days, depending on the extent of the growth and whether roof repairs or insulation replacement are also needed.
