Attic Cleaning
Comprehensive Attic Cleaning Solutions for a Healthier Home
Over time, an attic can become a storage space for more than just old boxes. Insulation can become compacted and block vents, while wood debris, scraps, and even bird nests can accumulate. These issues not only obstruct proper airflow but also contribute to poor air quality and increased moisture levels.
Attics that are not well-ventilated trap moisture, creating the perfect conditions for mold growth. Mold can deteriorate wooden structures, including the roof, and release airborne spores that affect indoor air quality. Additionally, excess moisture attracts rodents and birds, leading to further contamination and potential damage to insulation and wiring.
Neglecting attic maintenance can introduce allergens, dust, and airborne pollutants into your home, impacting the health of those inside. An attic cleaning is an essential first step that removes contaminants, prevents mold growth, and improves air quality.
