View Full Version : Mold problem in log home
Would like to know if anyone has had a problem with mold on rough cut logs on the interior and attic space of a log home? There are no known moisture problems, no leaks and low humidity in the structure.

no known moisture problems, no leaks and low humidity in the structure.Yes there is. Mold doesn't grow without it. Perhaps moisture wicking in between the joints? Not enough to be a visible indication, other than the mold growth itself. Does the mold seem to have any particular pattern? Any pics?

I would check fart fans in the bathrooms, I have seen people vent these directly into attic space because the attic is vented, its a big no no, but like rod said, your getting moisture from somewhere

I've had good results with Wet and Forget.
