How important is Crawl Space & Attic Cleaning?
"Inadequate ventilation can increase indoor pollutant levels by not bringing in enough outdoor air to dilute emissions from indoor sources and by not carrying indoor air pollutants out of the area." - EPA Introduction to Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
Besides polutants such as Asbestos, Carbon Monoxide , Lead, Mold, Radon gas, Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) there is also presence of Mold and the Microbial Volatile Organic compounds (MVOCs) in attics and crawl spaces and they affect the air quality inside your home.
Although attics have a well ventilated system that prevents mold or mildew to develop underneath the roof deck and on the rafters. However, overtime several problems may arise such as roof leaks, broken bathroom exhaust vents, insulation accumulation along the soffit vents, broken exhausts attic fans, damage due to rats, etc.. which create a good environment for mold growth in the presence of moisture. Solving the moisture problem and poor ventilation while cleaning the mold in your attic is important to prevent the reoccurance of mold contamination.
Likewise the harmlful air in crawl spaces and basements can contaminate the air upstairs in the living spaces. Problems can arise due to excessive humidity due to poor air circulation, foundation leaks, plumbing leaks, sewage contamination, pest or rodents problems, mold on exposed floor joists and walls, damage or missing moisture and vapor barriers. This all leads to creating an environment for mold to grow with the help of moisture.
