Photo Album: Remediated & Insulated Attic for Home Sale in Whitmore Lake, MI
The attic sheathing and insulation was covered with mold growth. Condensation on the roof deck. The problem was caused by the master bath fan duct not being directed out of the attic properly. The duct was aimed towards the roof vent but was not venting to the outside causing warm humid air to be pumped back into the attic. We faced two challenges during the installation process. The first challenge was the height of the attic made it difficult to move around and the other challenge was a supply duct that ran down the middle of the attic making it difficult to transfer from one side to the other. We used multiple products to achieve our end results. We used Mold X2 products, DuroVent Baffling, TiteShell Recessed Light Fixture Covers, 4" SilverGlo, Weather-stripping, adhesive, ZypFoam, Owens Corning Foam Board and TruSoft Cellulose.
