How do I clean mold growing inside the ceiling?

You may want to check with a professional first to determine what kind of mold you have growing. It may need to be professionally cleaned or if you are lucky you can do it yourself. Certain kinds of mold can make you and pets in your home very ill. Disturbing it as you try to clean it yourself can be a huge safety risk. It is very unfortunate that you didn't know about the mold before you purchased your home so that previous homeowners could have taken care of the issue before it was sold.

We tore out the walls and ceiling. We wore masks and removed everything. We rebuilt the structure, reinsulated and then panelled ours.

This is more than a homeowner DIY. You need to call in the pros. Highly regulated by the EPA. if not removed properly, you will be spreading the mold. Huge health risk for you and your family and pets. Here is how to hire at contractor you will ever need.

Hi Julie,

Did you get a Surveyors report when you bought it? Was it described as mold?

Mold is caused by lack of ventilation or rather not enough ventilation! Add more, and the problem should solve its self. or add dehumidifier or Boxes of cheap Damp collecting Crystals from the cheap store.. Wear a mask if brushing or washing off the area of mold as it can be bad for your health. When all clean, dry and fresh, Re-paint ceiling......

Hi Julie - There are several ways to get rid of mold, but most importantly, you need to address the root cause to keep it from returning. This article focuses on the bathroom, but is an overall great article that covers methods of how to remove mold, if bleach is safe to use, and how to prevent it from coming back. Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly
