attic

One of the primary causes of pest infestations in homes is unaddressed moisture issues. These issues often go unnoticed because they occur in places that we don’t think to look such as the attic. Unfortunately, just because we may not notice them, doesn’t mean that issues in the attic aren’t a hazard to our homes and our health. Moisture not only leads to pest infestations, but it can also lead to mold which can be harmful for humans to live around. That’s why attic remediation is so important, because we can’t afford to let moisture and pest issues in our attics go untreated for long. If you want to keep your Richmond home safe from pests and mold, you need to consider attic remediation.
