Mold is a type of fungus that thrives in specific conditions: moisture, warmth, and organic material to feed on. The primary culprit behind mold growth is excess moisture.
Common Causes for Mold Growth in an Attic: • Too much moisture • Lack of ventilation or unbalanced ventilation • Attic fans vented directly into the attic or leaking duct work from critters trying to stay warm • Air leaks from the house into the attic. • Ice damming • Flashing leaks • Worn or damaged shingles
