If you call us at the first sign of this mold growth, we can eliminate the exceeding growth and locate the source of the damage so it doesn’t reoccur

Although April usually brings Spring weather mixed with rain, West Erie homes are no stranger to some unwanted early Spring snow and wintry weather. Although it is more common in the winter months, remember that your roof and attic space are still the most susceptible to the collection of snow and ice. The weight of the snow can oftentimes penetrate into the attic and cause a build of moisture and ultimately mold. And the one thing no one wants more than snow in April, is mold too. 

This type of interior damage can be sneaky because it is less noticeable and can spread to other areas quickly. If you are noticing visible mold coming from your attic, check it out with a flashlight. If you see more of it, that means the organism has spread readily throughout the attic space and likely caused significant damages to the structural elements and contents stored in this space. You need a team of professionals that can arrive quickly with the right equipment to remove the growth and begin to return your property to the pre-mold condition.
