How to prevent mold from growing on your roof deck and ceilings in Belchertown, MA
Challenge
Did you know that your bathroom can cause MOLD damage in your attic?
Have you heard yet?
Bathrooms have lots of destructive moisture when the shower is running. That's why bathrooms have fans to get moisture out. But out to where?? Often plumbers and electricians leave these fans dumping into the attic. But when warm humid air hits cold attic surfaces - it condenses into water.
Bad Results: Mold all over your roof deck, rafters, ceiling joists - and even rot.
At Fogarty's Home Services and with Dr. Energy Saver products we can help you fix it. We fix uncomfortable homes.
Solution
Fogarty's Home Services Solution:
Our Dr. Energy Saver products will get the moisture where it's suppose to be - safely outside. Your bath fan will be ducted with insulated (northern climates) duct work through the gable end wall of your attic, with a vent hood on the outside. Uninsulated duct such as PVC pipe may be used if the duct is to be buried in cellulose insulation.
Good Results:
Bath fan no longer feeds moisture to mold in your attic, and mold and rot from this source STOP!
