When many people think about moisture in their homes, they think about the basement. However, your attic in Nolensville can also acquire moisture problems. Common signs of moisture include ice or frost on cold surfaces in the winter, musty smells, foggy windows, visible mold, condensation on windows or other surfaces that are smooth, staining, warping or discoloration of construction materials or the deterioration of masonry.

So how did the moisture get there in the first place? Several things can cause it, the first probably being the obvious – roof leaks. Attics are many times the first place to show the signs of a leaky roof. If you have pipes running through your attic, these can leak and sweat, so be sure to check them regularly to see if the pipes are dripping or if there is condensation on them. Rest assured that SERVPRO technicians have the tools to be able to get into the attic, find the source of the moisture and dry the attic back out.

Foundations, believe it or not, can also create a moisture problem in your attic. If there is water in your home’s foundation, the water can easily travel through the crawlspace or basement walls and floors. As the water evaporates into the air inside the house, it travels to the attic through bypasses or any area which warm air is flowing into your attic. Bypasses can be anything from cracks in the ceiling to openings around light fixtures.

You should also ensure that the ventilation in your attic is not blocked by something such as an animal nest or debris. Attics need proper ventilation to the outside, so moist air cannot become trapped.
