The young lady I spoke to on the phone was extremely kind and informative. Any question I had she could answer. She represents the company extremely well! We need more people like her.

Very disappointed with how 5 micron left my walls and building agree inspection Usually a company would take carpet up in the corner of the room they did it right in the middle 47 cuts and slashes Gave them a chance to make repairs - they refused Be careful when using them and always have someone who knows what they are doing onsite Refused to fix any of it Costing me thousands- they said the building was going to be completely renovated - reason for sloppy job but I never told them that

5 microns was so easy to work with. Absolutely loved Carole! She was so through and educating, a true pleasure to work. I was happy to give them a call and request her to come back for mold clearance.

On time smart great explanations. These folks know their stuff. Kind and don't make you feel stupid. General inspector and real estate agent very impressed as well. Can't go wrong with these guys. Bit expensive but you get what you pay for here.

โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ I had some concerns for mold in my office after gone through some water damage a year back, and I contacted 5 microns, and they came in the following day and ran all the necessary tests. A couple days later they emailed my results with the breakdown of everything I needed to know and how to take care of my concerns! Pascal was also very professional! Highly recommend!

Pascal was very professional and attentive to our needs. He was also empathetic to our situation. He took quite a bit of time explaining things to us. The report is very detailed and professional too. Thanks 5 Microns

Attic Mold Inspection

Attics are one of the most common areas in homes where mold growth can develop. Moisture from roof leaks, condensation, and poor ventilation can allow mold to grow on wood framing, insulation, and roof sheathing.

If you suspect mold in your attic, a professional attic mold inspection can help determine whether mold growth is present and identify conditions contributing to the problem.

5 Microns Inc. provides independent attic mold inspections and testing services for residential and commercial properties.

Why Mold Develops in Attics

Attics frequently experience moisture conditions that can support mold growth.

Common causes include:

  • Roof leaks

  • Inadequate attic ventilation

  • Bathroom exhaust fans venting into the attic

  • Condensation from indoor humidity

  • Ice dam moisture intrusion

  • Improper insulation

When moisture accumulates inside an attic, mold may begin growing on roof sheathing, rafters, or insulation materials.

Signs of Mold in an Attic

Homeowners may notice several indicators that mold may be present in an attic.

Common signs include:

  • Dark staining on roof sheathing

  • Musty odors inside the home

  • Visible mold growth on wood framing

  • Water stains or roof leaks

  • Excess condensation during cold weather

In some cases, attic mold may not be visible from living areas but can still affect indoor air quality.

What an Attic Mold Inspection Includes

A professional attic mold inspection typically includes several steps.

Visual Inspection

The inspector evaluates the attic for visible mold growth, moisture damage, and ventilation issues.

Moisture Diagnostics

Moisture meters may be used to identify elevated moisture levels in building materials.

Ventilation Assessment

Improper ventilation is a common cause of attic mold problems. Inspectors may evaluate ventilation systems and airflow conditions.

Mold Sampling

If necessary, air or surface samples may be collected for laboratory analysis.

Why Attic Mold Should Be Evaluated

Although attic mold may be confined to the attic space, it can still indicate underlying moisture problems in the building.

Proper evaluation helps determine:

  • Whether mold contamination is present

  • What moisture conditions caused the growth

  • Whether further corrective action may be necessary

Professional inspection helps ensure that mold conditions are accurately identified.
