Mold Mitigation and the Prevention of Ice Damming
and Premature Roof Failure
Wet attics can cause mold and mildew, ice
damming, buckled shingles, and premature roof failure. Replacing the wood does
not solve the problem. Adding ventilation to a roof with ice dams or wet framing
and sheathing may cause more problems than it solves. Adding ventilation to a
roof, which previously did not have problems, can actually precipitate them.
Insulating the attic without sealing the vertical air paths encourages
condensation.
Learn more about the causes and cures for wet
attics. Common sources of air leakage into attics are identified. Treatments of
major moisture sources such as crawl spaces and basements are discussed. A
comprehensive air sealing strategy is presented that prevents air leaks and
resultant moisture damage, and also increases comfort, health, and energy
efficiency. Pertinent retrofit materials are demonstrated.
The Building
Performance Contractors Association of New York State, Inc. (BPCA/NYS) invites
you to attend our regional forum. Anyone interested in Building Performance,
Home Energy Ratings, Solar Electric Systems, HVAC, Air-Sealing and Insulation,
Healthy Homes and Indoor Air Quality, or any combination of these, should
attend this meeting. If you can't attend this meeting, BPCA/NYS will continue
to hold monthly meetings around the state and will be in your area soon.
New York State
offers several market-based initiatives that are designed to help contractors
to become more profitable in providing new and ever-evolving energy efficiency
and building performance services to the residential marketplace. BPCA/NYS will
assist you in learning more about these existing programs, as well as other
upcoming programs and business opportunities. These meetings are also designed
to give you a forum to offer ideas and to present feedback to NYSERDA and the
program implementers of the Home Performance with Energy Star and the Energy
Star Labeled Homes programs.
