Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Posted August 5, 2006 I have mold in the attic I have to hire someone to clean but I have learned to get some idea of proper way to do it first before talking to someone to do it. First there is mold dust on insulation so that will have to go but as far as mold on the wood beams itself, should I have it scraped off/sanded off and then treat the wood with something to kill the what is left, and then seal. This is my idea of how it would be done. Any thoughts on this? Does that seem right to others? I have to get up there with floodlight to see exactly how much wood is involved. It is all the wood, just here and there. I think first step would be to remove insulation and seal attic floor so air up there while working would not come down into house. Of course if I then have mold sanded off wood, that will make mold airbourne after putting down new attic floor seal, won't it??? Seems like a really hard thing to do, clean the attic without spreading it all over house. Maybe I should just seal the floor, put new insulation down and leave it at that??? (, I know I should put new roof on or move, but a new roof would break me financially and then I would be emotionally/mentally ill in addition to physically ill still. Moving I cannot do now.) Quote
