Can my house, which burned in the attic several years ago be making me sick?
I moved into this house 3 years ago. When checking the attic I found black charred wood in the attic with 2×4′s holding the roof up. When it is windy or damp outside it filters into the house. My allergies are driving me crazy. How can I check it?
What does it smell like? It is musty or is it the smell of burned wood? Typically after a fire, the smell remains for a long time. Fire restoration companies can assess the condition and remedy with an encapsulant and odor control measures.
If there is mold present, which I suspect there is not, a mold inspector should be called. You can usually expect mold if there is a musty smell. Mold can certainly make allergy symptoms worse and cause other adverse health effects. Visit
horizon-inspections.com, mold page for more information. Feel free to email me with any questions. Hope this helps.
