Attic Mold After a Roof Leak in NH

· New Hampshire exteriors

Black staining on sheathing after a leak is common. Fix the exterior source before cleaning — otherwise mold returns with the next storm.

Stop water first

Roof repair or replacement comes before paint, spray, or insulation fluff.

We scope the exterior leak path; remediation specialists may handle heavy mold cleaning when needed.

Ventilation check

  • Blocked soffits
  • Missing ridge exhaust
  • Bathroom fans dumping into the attic
  • Air leaks from living space

Insulation

Wet batts often need removal and replacement after drying. We coordinate timing so new insulation is not installed under an active leak.
