Remember this is only a thought from a southerner who has never lived farther north than Texas.
Experienced a mold problem in my attic over this past winter in the Chicago area. Was told that my attic wasn't properly ventilated, and that the growth was caused by the furnace keeping the attic too warm over the winter. I had noticed the frost buildup on the plywood of the attic, then about a month later saw all the mold growth. I have had the mold remediated, but now am struggling a bit to determine how I should go about having it better ventilated. Today I have a ridge vent and eave vents in every opening. They are clear from blockage as I can see the daylight in them and have the baffles installed. Assuming that is all god, my focus has shifted to possibly installing a all-season power vent so that if the humidity rises, I can circulate air in the attic, but I'm also considering other options. Maybe gable power vent? Thoughts? Not sure which way to go with this.
Thanks in advance, Pete
