Organic growth in an attic can lead to several issues:

Structural Damage: Mold and mildew weaken roof plywood and framing, and can compromise the attic’s structural integrity

Health Risks: Attic mold produces mycotoxins that can harm human health.

Costly Repairs: If left untreated, mold growth can spread rapidly.

To prevent attic mold, ensure proper ventilation, insulation, and regular maintenance.
