Homeowners will often find mold growth in certain areas of the home, such as the basement or bathrooms. These are damp areas, and mold thrives in wet environments. Mold in a basement or bathroom will usually make itself known with visible mold by growing on walls or tiles. Mold in your home's attic is harder to recognize as there are many places to hide.

There are a handful of reasons mold grows in your attic. The three most common reasons are:

1. Leaky Roof - Issues with your roof will result in moisture entering the home whenever it rains. Regularly check roof valleys, chimneys, attic windows, plumbing stacks, and vents for any signs of leaks or openings.
2. Poor Ventilation - This may be the most common reason for mold growth in the attic. Insufficient or blocked ventilation will result in excess moisture entering the home, leading to mold growth. Most attics feature a passive ventilation system that leads to a breezy airflow and ventilated attic. If this ventilation system is blocked or does not have enough vents, mold will likely grow.
3. Bathroom or Kitchen Exhaust Fan Issues - Exhaust fans are designed to move moisture out of the home. Sometimes these fans do not work correctly, and they pump moisture into the attic.
