Having a badly insulated attic is one of the reasons mold can appear. If your attic is poorly insulated, temperature volatility makes moisture advance throughout the space over time. Any mold remediation professional will say this type of insulation feeds mold and promotes growth due to continuous moisture exposure. Here are some other problems we’ve encountered:

• Insufficient insulation or the insulation is being configured incorrectly.
• Not enough ventilation or insulation is being hindered;
• Vents from a bathroom or kitchen that reach the attic;
• Clutter impedes airflow along with boxes that act as a sponge to moisture.

Lower levels such as basements and crawl spaces are prime for molded areas and if left unchecked often need mold damage restoration. Having a decent humidifier all year long is imperative to controlling moisture in your basement. With moisture control, you should constantly check places where water is present and mold can enter the home resulting in an unforeseen expense for mold restoration. Things to look for when doing an assessment:

• High humidity 
• Eliminating clutter caused by boxes that absorb moisture 
• Sump pumps that are not in use and/or unsealed 
• Cracks in walls and in the floor that can leak during storms
