All Over the Rafters
As you can see, there was mold all over the rafters!

An Ideal Environment
Attics provide an ideal environment for mold since they contain plenty of food sources such as wood and insulation. Leaky roofs, condensation from fluctuating temperatures, leaky pipes, and/or poor ventilation can provide mold with the moisture it needs to grow.

Too Late
Although the roof was repaired, mold still developed because it went unnoticed for a long period of time.

Use MAPS 1
First, we treated the area with our EPA registered antimicrobial, called MAPS 1.

Kills Mold
MAPS 1 attacks mold at its DNA and immediately kills it. Afterward, we used our mold stain remover and scrubbed away all the excess mold staining throughout the attic.

Now for MAPS 2
Next, we treated every square inch of the attic with our patented sealant called MAPS 2. This application encapsulates the surface mold is growing on and renders it harmless and non-allergenic.
![No More Mold](https://cdn.treehouseinternetgroup.com/uploads/photo_gallery/medium/366414-6140ec4c2aae7_img2856.jpg?v=1631644714)
No More Mold
MAPS 2 is also moisture-sensitive and will reactivate whenever it gets wet to prevent future mold growth!
