Eliminating Mold and Making a Home More Comfortable in Middletown, CT

This homeowner was referred to us by an existing customer who recently had work done and knew we were perfect for the job. The homeowner had a terrible problem with mold in her attic and asked us to send someone out to help.

Our Building Science Specialist was able to easily identify the problem as being a poorly vented out bath fan leading to the attic. The air coming from the bathroom was mostly warm air, hitting the cold air in the attic and condensing into water and resulting in mold. We completely removed all existing, moldy fiberglass insulation and then cleaned and prepped the area for treatment with our MoldX2™ Cleaner and Botanical. We then built a deck and dam and blew in  new TruSoft™ Cellulose insulation. Next we ducted the bath fan out through the gable end and outside, preventing future mold issues. We completed the job by installing a David Lewis™ attic pull-down stair hatch cover to air seal and insulate the entrance to the attic.
