Roof sheathing cleaning
Growth on the underside of the roof deck is removed by blasting or sanding, followed by HEPA vacuuming of the attic.
Home inspector found dark staining on your roof sheathing? Seeing frost on nail tips in winter? Breffni Remediation connects you with licensed and insured independent attic mold removal contractors in Ithaca who clean the decking, correct the ventilation, and stop the condensation causing it.
Most attic growth comes down to three issues: exhaust fans venting into the attic, blocked soffit vents, and air leaks from the house below. Cleaning without fixing them doesn't last.
Answered day and night, holidays too.

Attic jobs fail when they stop at cleaning. These are the standards we look for in the contractors we refer.

Each part of the job, from blasting to new baffles, is priced in writing before work begins.
Contractors use media blasting or hand cleaning, HEPA vacuums, and air filtration suited to working overhead in a tight attic.
Need it done before closing or before new shingles go on? Tell the dispatcher and we'll prioritize your call.
Attic work means walking joists, working near wiring, and sometimes cutting new vents. The pros we route you to carry their own insurance and required licensing.
Attic work combines cleaning overhead with fixing how air moves through the house. These are the core services.
Growth on the underside of the roof deck is removed by blasting or sanding, followed by HEPA vacuuming of the attic.
Fans and dryer vents that end in the attic get rerouted outside, removing a major moisture source.
Proper attic airflow needs open intake at the eaves and exhaust at the ridge. Contractors restore that balance.
Contaminated blown cellulose or batts may need removal. Air sealing around top plates, recessed lights, plumbing stacks, and the attic hatch cuts the warm air leaking up from the house.
A protective coating can go on once the decking is clean and dry, as an added layer rather than a shortcut.

Here's what some recent callers shared.

The home inspector flagged black staining on the north side of the roof. The contractor found both bathroom fans venting straight into the attic. They dry ice blasted the decking and ran the ducts out through roof caps.
Every winter we'd get water spots on the bedroom ceiling. It turned out to be frost on the nails melting. They cleared the soffits, installed baffles, and sealed around the can lights. No spots this year.
We were about to replace the roof anyway, so the contractor cleaned the sheathing first and coordinated with the roofer on adding a ridge vent. Good timing saved us a second trip.
Photos of the cleaned attic saved our closing. The buyer's agent had questions and the report answered every one of them.
Condensation from household moisture, poor ventilation, and air leaks are the main culprits. Roof leaks can add to it.
It can still damage the roof deck and insulation, and it often becomes an issue when you sell.
Usually not. Most stained sheathing can be cleaned. Replacement is only needed when the wood is soft, delaminated, or structurally compromised.
It's a method that fires dry ice pellets at the surface to knock off growth. The dry ice turns into gas, leaving no water or grit behind, which suits attic sheathing well.
No. Bath and kitchen exhaust should be ducted all the way outside through a roof or wall cap. Venting into the attic is one of the most common causes of attic mold.
Most attic jobs take one to three days, depending on attic size, access, the cleaning method, and how many ventilation corrections are needed.
