Attic Mold Removal Oakville

It became evident that the attic roof boards would need to be replaced, as mold had grown through several sheathing bays. Our evaluation revealed the possibility of retaining the existing sheathing for the homeowner.

The lack of sufficient soffit intake created a barrier that allowed humid air to remain under the decking. We elected for controlled surface remediation rather than removing it.

We mechanically cleaned the contaminated planking and cleared the ventilation path. Post-remediation MC measurements validated the decision to retain the sheathing.

Water entered through failing roof flashing for approximately one year, creating an environment where mold was able to grow at the corner of the doorway, in addition to causing significant damage to the drywall.

The homeowner painted the affected areas, assuming that the staining was merely only on the surface. However, due to the nature of the compromised drywall, it was determined that repair would not be feasible.

Therefore, we recommended HEPA-filtered containment, as well as removal of the damaged materials.

After locating the source of the water intrusion and making the necessary repairs, we reconstructed the damaged portion of the wall while preserving the ceiling trim the owner preferred.
