Every attic is different; every scope is written after we've assessed yours specifically.
Assessment
🔍Sheathing Assessment & Sapstain Distinction
MC% at multiple points, section-by-section growth characterization, structural assessment for delamination. Lab sampling where species or activity status isn't clear from visual and moisture data alone.
Ventilation
💨Soffit Vent Clearance & Ridge Vent Assessment
Eave bay clearance and baffling, ridge vent condition assessment, vent addition where NFA is insufficient. All specified in the written scope with the reason for each correction.
Fan Rerouting
💨Exhaust Fan Rerouting to Exterior
Bathroom fans, kitchen fans, and dryer vents identified as terminating inside the Audubon, NJ attic are rerouted to the exterior — through gable, soffit, or roof cap — using properly insulated flex duct or rigid metal, sealed at the fan housing and at the exterior penetration. This is typically a same-day correction.
Treatment
🌳Borate Treatment & Encapsulant Application
HEPA vacuum then borate application on all accessible surfaces. Encapsulant application over treated surfaces where additional barrier is warranted. Both documented in the written scope.
Replacement
🔨Sheathing Replacement Where Structurally Needed
OSB and plywood sheathing sections with confirmed structural delamination, loss of rigidity, or through-penetration of decay fungi are flagged for replacement in the written scope — individually assessed rather than assumed. Replacement work coordinated with roofing contractor when the roof covering must be removed for access.
Clearance
✅Post-Remediation Clearance & MC% Verification
After treatment and ventilation correction, post-remediation sheathing MC% readings verify material is below threshold. Independent post-remediation air sampling from within the attic and from living spaces below confirms reduced spore counts in both zones. Written clearance report delivered.
