The process
The attic mold removal and remediation process in Stow, MA
Inspect
Sheathing, rafters, and insulation are inspected for staining, with a moisture meter determining if the wood is actively wet or long dried.
Contain
The attic access is sealed and a HEPA air scrubber creates negative pressure, preventing spores from spreading to living areas during remediation.
Remove
Contaminated insulation is vacuumed and bagged. Sheathing and framing are cleaned via HEPA vacuuming, manual cleaning, or soda blasting based on staining depth.
Ventilate
Blocked soffit vents and improperly terminated bath fans are documented, as proper soffit to ridge airflow is critical for keeping the attic dry.
Verify
Cleaned wood receives an antimicrobial treatment and a clear sealant. Moisture readings confirm dryness before containment is removed and the hatch is closed.
