When to Have Your Attic Cleaned by a Professional
Similar to the crawl space, the attic is out of sight and out of mind, therefore it’s typically not at the top of a homeowner’s cleaning to-do list. Chances are that your attic’s main purpose is to store away items you don’t need day to day. While attics are a great place to store things out of sight, the attic deserves year-round attention. Not only can a dirty attic create havoc for the structural integrity of your home, but it can raise your heating and cooling costs. This is why it’s imperative to have a clean attic. If your attic has been long forgotten and in need of some TLC, then it may be time for a professional attic cleaning.
Find out why you should clean your attic on a regular basis below.
Dust & Dirt Can Mask Serious Problems
Dust in an attic is not uncommon. It’s when an attic becomes increasingly dirty and dusty that it becomes a problem. Dirty attics not only make it uncomfortable for those that try to enter it, but they can mask serious problems like repairs that need to be made or pest infestations. Dirt, dust, and debris can cover signs of pest infestations such as nesting materials, old and falling insulation, droppings, chewed wires, and more.
If you take a look at your attic and can’t fathom cleaning it alone, then it’s time to hire a professional attic cleaning service. They’ll be able to bring your attic back to its former glory and protect it from pests, rodents, and costly repairs.
Mold & Mildew Growth
Moisture can enter the attic through cracks and holes in the home’s structure and lead to mold and mildew growth. This will not only eat at the organic materials that make up your home’s structure, but it can and will negatively impact the indoor air quality of your home. Mold and mildew growth is especially hazardous to those with asthma or allergies. Lastly, mold spores that travel through the air can contaminate your precious items that are stored up in the attic.
If your attic has evidence of mild or mildew growth, a professional attic cleaning company should perform a mold treatment to disinfect and sanitize.
Make Your Attic More Energy-Efficient
Part of every professional attic clean-out should be a plan for regular attic maintenance. An attic clean-out service is the perfect time to evaluate the current conditions of the attic, particularly the insulation. If your attic has old or damaged insulation, it’s time to upgrade to new, energy-efficient insulation. This will not only add a layer of protection to your attic, but it will also help save you money on heating and cooling costs.
