Leaks from the roof, insufficient ventilation, excessive moisture and humidity create the perfect breeding ground for mold to grow in your attic space. It is a problem that is easily overlooked, considering how little time we spend in our attics. If left untended, mold can deteriorate the building materials of your roof structure and cause the shingles to age prematurely.

At Steri Mobile, not only do we kill the mold in your attic, but we also tell you WHY you have mold. If the conditions are not corrected, then the mold will absolutely return during the following heating season. As certified mold inspectors and remediators, we ensure the proper process is followed because your family deserves a safe, healthy home.
We begin by isolating the attic from the rest of the house. Next, we SATURATE the trusses and sheathing with a formulated disinfectant by fogging the total attic. We begin with this step because when mold senses it is being attacked, it releases its spore into the air, this is a phenomenon called bursting or sporulation. Our product is unique among the mold-killing chemicals as it is the only liquid we know that will completely destroy a spore (mold seed). Therefore, we kill the spores before they have an opportunity to spread.
The next step in the process is the application of a stain-removing solution. We do this because (while truly only cosmetic in nature) failure to apply the stain remover will result in the perception (home inspectors) that the mold is still active.
The following step allows for the long-term success of the process. We apply an environmentally friendly borate solution designed to penetrate the substrate a full inch (mold roots only grow 3/16’s of an inch into the wood). This treatment prevents decay and dry rot fungi. It also prevents wood-boring insects, likecarpenter ants and termites, from infesting the area.
Steri Mobile has many years of experience in attic mold remediation. You can trust our experts and our process to help you remove mold from your attic effectively once the source of your moisture problem is identified and addressed.
Make sure soffit and roof vents are open, unobstructed, and properly balanced. Confirm that bathroom and kitchen fans vent outdoors, not into the attic.
Seal gaps around light fixtures, attic hatches, pipes, and ducts. Add weatherstripping and insulation around the attic hatch.
Level and top up insulation to reduce temperature differences at the roof deck. Address areas that repeatedly form ice dams or show frost in winter.
Repair damaged shingles, flashing, and vent boots promptly. Keep gutters and downspouts clear to reduce water buildup along the eaves.
