Signs you might have mould in your attic or crawl space

Discolouration & Texture

Inspect the walls, ceilings, and floors of your attic or crawl space. Mould can appear as discolored patches, fuzzy spots, or even slimy textures. It can be black, green, brown, or white.

Musty Odour

Mould often emits a distinct musty or earthy odor. If you notice an unpleasant smell in your attic or crawl space, it could indicate the presence of mould.

Increased Humidity, Moisture & Condensation

Mould thrives in damp environments. Check for signs of water damage, leaks, or condensation in these areas. High humidity levels can promote mould growth.

Water Stains

Look for any visible water stains on surfaces like walls, ceilings, and insulation. These stains could be indicative of past or ongoing moisture issues that could lead to mould growth.

Ventilation and Insulation

Poor ventilation and inadequate insulation can lead to moisture buildup and mould growth. Check if your attic or crawl space has proper ventilation and insulation.

Health Issues

If you or your family members experience unexplained allergic reactions, respiratory issues, or other health problems when spending time in your home, it could be a sign of mould-related health effects.
