Attic Mould Removal in Calgary, Alberta

🏠 Attic Mould Removal in Calgary, AB

Certified Attic Remediation, Ventilation Solutions & Structural Recovery

Mould in your attic is a serious structural and health emergency that often goes unnoticed until it’s too late. In Calgary’s unique climate—where rapid "Chinook" thaws meet freezing winters—attics are prone to condensation, ice dams, and trapped humidity. Left untreated, attic mould can rot roof sheathing, destroy insulation R-value, and release spores into your home’s living spaces through bypasses and ductwork.

At Calgary Water Damage Restoration, we specialize in professional attic mould remediation. We don’t just "cover up" the problem; we identify the moisture source, remove the growth using IICRC-certified protocols, and optimize your ventilation to ensure it never returns.

🔍 Why Attic Mould is a Serious Problem

Left unchecked in Calgary’s variable weather, attic mould can lead to:

• Structural Decay: Mould feeds on organic materials like roof rafters and plywood sheathing, compromising your roof's integrity.
• Respiratory Risks: Spores can migrate downward into your home, aggravating asthma, allergies, and chronic coughing.
• Energy Inefficiency: Saturated or mould-infested insulation loses its ability to regulate temperature, leading to spiked heating costs.
• Property Value Loss: Undiscovered attic mould is a major red flag during real estate inspections and can halt a home sale.

💬 Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs of mould in my attic?

‍Look for black staining on wood, a musty odor in upstairs hallways, frost buildup on the underside of the roof in winter, or "wet" matted insulation.

Can I stay in my home during the removal?

‍Yes. Our containment protocols isolate the attic completely, ensuring no spores or dust enter your living areas while we work.

How long does attic mould removal take?

‍Most residential attic projects in Calgary are completed within 2 to 4 days, depending on the size of the attic and if insulation needs replacement.

Is attic mould covered by insurance?

‍In Alberta, coverage usually depends on the cause. If mould resulted from a "sudden and accidental" event (like a pipe burst or storm damage), it is often covered. If it resulted from long-term lack of maintenance, it may not be. We can help you navigate this process.
