Black Mold In The Attic

Clevelandmarko asked:


Many homes have black mold on the attic sheathing. This is caused by high indoor humidity. The moisture in the home condesates on the sheathing during cold days.

    I have black mold in my attic due to a leaky skylight. The leak is fixed. Can I clean the mold up myself with bleach and water?

    Black mold in attics is very serious and should be taken care of immediately. The longer you wait, the more you are at risk. I can relate because a few years ago, we had an experience dealingwith mold a few summers ago and it can definitely affect your health.

    I don’t know if its black mold or not but I’ve heard that some molds can be extremely dangerous to your health…the tenants living in my basement moved out the other day and they left the place a disgusting mess and I found mold under the rug in one bedroom just wanna know if it could potentially be dangerous or not. thanks

    Funny, I do have four gold fish that I put in this crawl shot for my real-estate seminar. Class laughs. I tell them that we sent fish to our lab. I show them the goldfish ballet, a very funny 2 min video. You can find this on the net . Email and i will attach it. Black spots on sheathing means, you have too much humidity in your home during winter months. Moist air is condensating on your sheathing. Black spots are mold. Basement humidity in the winter should be under 30%.
