Contaminated insulation in your Clifford attic or crawl space is spreading spores through your whole house via the stack effect. Warm air rises, pulling mold spores from the attic into living spaces. We contain the workspace, remove every contaminated batt or blown-in load, HEPA-vacuum the joist bays, treat framing with antimicrobial, air-seal penetrations, and install new insulation — verified with post-remediation testing.
Fiberglass Batt Insulation Mold Removal
Fiberglass itself doesn't mold, but the kraft paper facing and accumulated dust do. In Clifford attics with roof leaks, we bag out stained batts under containment, HEPA-vacuum joist bays, treat wood framing, and install new unfaced or smart-vapor-retarder batts.
Blown-In Cellulose Insulation Remediation
Cellulose holds water and wicks it across the entire attic floor. One small roof leak in a Bartholomew County home can ruin hundreds of square feet of blown insulation. We vacuum it out through HEPA-filtered equipment, dry the attic, treat framing, and blow in new stabilized cellulose or fiberglass.
Spray Foam Insulation Mold Investigation
Closed-cell spray foam doesn't absorb water — but when it's applied over wet wood or when roof leaks wet the sheathing behind it, mold grows between the foam and the wood, hidden from view. We use borescope inspection to find it, cut out affected sections, treat the wood, and re-foam.
Crawl Space Insulation Mold Removal
Fiberglass batts between floor joists in Clifford crawl spaces act like sponges when groundwater seeps in. We remove all wet insulation, HEPA-clean the joist bays, install rigid foam or closed-cell spray foam (impervious to water), and verify dryness before completion.
Attic Mold Assessment & Insulation Replacement
Attic mold in Clifford often starts with bathroom fans venting into the attic instead of outside — saturating insulation with warm, moist air. We assess the ventilation, remove contaminated insulation, install proper exhaust ducting to the exterior, and replace with fresh insulation.
Rim Joist & Band Board Insulation Mold
The rim joist area in Bartholomew County basements is where cold concrete meets warm wood — condensation central. Moldy fiberglass stuffed into the rim cavity is common. We remove it, treat the wood, and install closed-cell spray foam that air-seals and insulates without absorbing moisture.
Air Sealing After Insulation Removal
Before new insulation goes in, we air-seal every penetration — wiring holes, plumbing chases, top plates, can lights — stopping the air movement that carries moisture into the insulation in the first place. Required for any Clifford attic or crawl space insulation job.
Post-Insulation Remediation Testing
After new insulation is installed, we run air sampling in the living space and attic/crawl space. Lab results confirm spore counts have dropped to normal outdoor background levels before we close the job.
