A mold resistant paint won t solve your moisture problems but it makes it harder for mold to take hold and spread across your walls thanks to the way the paint is made. Mold in the attic or anywhere for that matter can be a health and safety hazard when you spot it you have to act fast. In addition you need to purchase a mold killing paint rather than the resistant variety as this is the only way to deal with already existing mold. If one encapsulates attic mold with a clear sealant like many mold remediation companies do future home inspectors and homeowners won t have any idea if the visible black white mold staining in the attic is.

Painting over mold will only work on a permanent basis if you fix the source of the mold problem first. While this pressure can feel overwhelming there are several ways for you to tackle your mold problem the diy way before you have to call in a professional. It is better to paint over mold with a mold killing paint rather than with a mold resistant paint otherwise you will often find that the infestation will keep spreading. A good way to check the ventilation status of your attic is to turn off all the lights in the attic on a sunny day and look for points of light appearing.
