Summer's here in Chicago, and while we welcome the sunshine, it can create a hidden problem in your home – attic mold growth. Here at Green Attic Insulation, we're all about keeping your home comfortable and healthy, and that includes protecting your attic from a silent threat during the hot and humid months.

  • Health Concerns: Mold exposure can trigger respiratory problems, allergies, and even worsen existing conditions like asthma.
  • Reduced Insulation Performance: Mold can damage insulation materials, reducing their effectiveness in regulating indoor temperatures. This translates to higher energy bills and a less comfortable home.
  • Structural Damage: Left unchecked, mold can spread and weaken structural elements of your home, leading to costly repairs.

Green Attic Insulation Recommends a Summer Attic Checkup

Before the summer heat intensifies, here's what you can do:

  • Mold Inspection: Schedule a professional inspection for mold growth in your attic insulation. Early detection is key to preventing serious problems.
  • DIY Check: If you're comfortable, look for visible signs of mold, such as black or green patches on insulation materials. A musty odor in your home could also be a clue.
  • Ventilation Assessment: Ensure proper ventilation in your attic. We recommend having a qualified professional assess your attic's ventilation system and recommend improvements if necessary.
