Common household mildew and mold are a serious danger to your family. They can cause respiratory ailments, allergic reactions, skin, eye and throat irritation, immune system diseases, headaches and dizziness. Even if you can't see or smell it, mold can cause illness, especially during the winter when closed windows and doors allow contaminated air to re-circulate through the heating system. Mold is typically related to an indoor water or moisture problem. Mold found in your attic is most likely due to excess moisture from roof leaks or poor ventilation. It can cause building materials to warp, stain, crack, fail and rot. It poses a serious risk of damage to your home, and it won't go away on its own.
