Attic moisture and mould inspection after a roof leak

Request an attic inspection

Roof leak history and photos of staining help.

Why attics grow mould here

Roof leaks, bathroom fans dumping into the attic, and winter condensation on the underside of the roof deck

Find the moisture

Leak, ventilation, or both. Inspection without a source is just a photo of staining.

Insulation check

Wet or moulded insulation is documented for removal versus drying.

Roof connection

We coordinate leak repair so you are not remediating under an active roof leak.

Clear next steps

Inspection report and quote for remediation if growth is confirmed.

Inspecting structure after moisture in a Vancouver attic

Attic mold inspection in Greater Vancouver

Homeowners often notice a stain on the bedroom ceiling months after a storm. The attic is where that water sat. An inspection tells you whether you need a roof patch, insulation replacement, mould remediation, or all three.

Shield performs attic inspections as part of water-damage work. If you only need a look, we quote that. If growth is present, we quote remediation separately — no surprise demolition.

FAQ

Attic Mold Inspection FAQ

Shield — attic mold inspection across Greater Vancouver.

What does an attic mould inspection include?

Safe access, visual and moisture assessment of sheathing and insulation, and identification of leak versus condensation. You get next steps in writing — repair, remediation, or monitoring.

Do you always remediate after an inspection?

No. Inspection and remediation are quoted separately. We do not open an attic for demolition until you approve scope.

Should the roof be fixed first?

If the leak is still active, yes. Remediating under a still-leaking roof fails. We coordinate roof repair with inspection findings.

Which areas do you serve?

Yes. We serve Vancouver, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, New Westminster, Surrey, Coquitlam, and surrounding Greater Vancouver communities within ~50 km.
