Most homeowners never set foot in their attic. That’s exactly why mold problems up there go undetected until they’re serious.
Most people can't remember the last time they looked in the attic, and closing that gap is the job of attic mold inspection in Pueblo, CO.
When was the last time you looked in your attic? For most people the honest answer is never, or once when they moved in. Attics are out of sight, awkward to access, and easy to forget about—which makes them the perfect place for mold to grow unchecked for years. The first indication is usually indirect: a home inspector flags it during a sale, an HVAC technician mentions something while servicing your unit, or you start noticing staining on the ceiling below and trace it upward. By the time attic mold makes itself known, it’s typically widespread across roof sheathing, rafters, and insulation.

“Jim and Karen of Pure Maintenance of Pueblo were professional in every sense of the word. They communicated well, were timely, thorough and very knowledgeable. We were pleased with the service and are happy to report that their testing, recommendations and product application was a complete success.”
“Pure Maintenance was amazing! Jim and Karen were professional, explained everything clearly, and took care of our mold problem quickly. We highly recommend - FIVE STARS isn’t enough for the care, honesty, and thorough work Karen and Jim gave us!”
“After being quoted large amounts by different agencies inside and outside pueblo, I found pure maintenance. Not only are their prices affordable, there are also thorough. Their inspection was much more thorough than I had expected, and their air tests were sent to Labs with all the required certificates/accreditations needed to test for mold. They were kind, very flexible, and extremely responsive. I would recommend their services to anyone. During the inspection, they found severe issues in the Attic that were contributing to mold issues. The mold test showed what I have suspected, which caused for me to move out of the house and break the lease with no consequences, due to the mold report and inspection/air tests. In addition to all of that, they also took the time to be flexible in sanitizing the items that I had moved into the house to ensure that there was no mold growth in my new place or my storage unit. They were extremely flexible on the time they could come to do it, the price, and just in general (because I am almost always behind a little bit).”
“Jim and Karen were excellent to work with in the process of removing mold from our home. I had no doubt we had mold issues; I could smell it every time I ran the hot water in our bathroom sink for more than 10 seconds, and for awhile I was also smelling mold when I walked past our stairs. We dealt with it for awhile because it seemed like a bigger issue than we could tackle, but then when I got pregnant, we made it a priority to have a clean home before our baby was born. The mold fogging coincided with a home remodel project, and our house was chaotic all month--but the timing was great because when our floors were torn up and we saw the black mold, I was extra grateful to be having it professionally remediated. Karen communicated well during every step of the process and made sure we knew how to prepare, and when they were finished there was a slight smell (like vinegar) for a few days but we just left the windows open to help it air out. We had some trouble with a really high smoke detector and they went the extra mile to help with it, and when I was no longer smelling mold in our sink or by the stairs, I knew it had been effective even without the pre- and post-testing results--but those were insane. And I so appreciated that it was done without tearing things up (other than what we did for the remodel) and that it didn't bring any new toxins into our home 🙌🏼 I highly recommend Pure Maintenance of Pueblo to help make your home cleaner and safer!”
“Jim and Karen are very knowledgable and great to work with. They went above and beyond and I highly recommend them. The mold treatment has made a huge difference in the air quality in my house. I no longer have that musty smell when I return after a long trip. I had previous mold treatment that involved cutting out portions of molded dry wall and removing baseboards, but didn't get to the mold that was throughout the house. This treatment deals will the whole house and my health has improved since it. I can't recommend it strongly enough for anyone with an old, musty smelling house.”
“Jim and Karen Blagg are some of the nicest professionals that I have come in contact with, in a long time. They took everything step by step in the process of getting the mold removed from my home. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.”
If you’re buying or selling a home, an attic mold inspection should be part of your due diligence—general home inspectors often note potential concerns but lack the specialist tools and training to assess mold specifically. If you’ve noticed dark staining on upstairs ceilings, a musty smell on the top floor, or increased humidity in upper rooms, the attic is the first place to investigate. Homes where bathroom exhaust fans vent into the attic rather than outside are at high risk—every shower pumps warm, moist air directly into a space that can’t handle it. In Pueblo, the wide temperature swings between hot days and cold nights cause condensation on the underside of roof sheathing, particularly during winter. Homes with blocked or insufficient soffit and ridge ventilation trap that moisture with nowhere to go. If your home is more than fifteen years old and nobody has inspected the attic for mold, there’s a reasonable chance something is growing up there.
Our NORMI-trained inspectors physically access your attic space to conduct a thorough visual and diagnostic assessment. We examine roof sheathing, rafters, joists, insulation condition, and any HVAC components housed in the attic for signs of active or past mold growth. Beyond what’s visible, we use moisture meters to read moisture content in roof decking and framing members—elevated readings in materials that appear dry on the surface reveal problems a visual check alone would miss. We assess ventilation performance, checking soffit vents, ridge vents, gable vents, and any mechanical ventilation for blockages or inadequacy. We trace the routing of every bathroom and kitchen exhaust fan to confirm whether they’re venting outside or dumping moisture directly into the attic space. Where mold is observed or suspected, we can collect air or surface samples for laboratory confirmation and species identification. Your inspection report covers what we found, what’s causing it, and what needs to happen—whether that’s remediation, a ventilation correction, rerouting an exhaust fan, or a combination.
Cost depends on the size and accessibility of your attic space. A single-story home with a standard attic hatch is more straightforward than a multi-level property with complex roof lines and limited access points. We provide pricing upfront before scheduling the inspection. What you’re paying for goes well beyond someone poking their head through a hatch with a torch—it’s a trained specialist with professional moisture detection equipment conducting a systematic assessment of every contributing factor. If you’re in the middle of a property transaction and a general inspector has flagged attic concerns, our specialist inspection provides the definitive assessment both parties need to move forward with confidence rather than uncertainty.
Attic inspections require someone who knows what they’re looking at and understands why it’s there. Our inspectors combine NORMI training with extensive experience in Pueblo’s specific conditions—we know which roof types develop condensation problems, which neighborhoods have homes with exhaust fans venting into attic spaces, and how Pueblo’s elevation and temperature swings create moisture patterns that differ from other parts of Colorado. If the inspection reveals mold, we’ll explain the extent and walk you through how our VaPURE technology can treat the full attic space without the manual sanding, wire-brushing, and insulation stripping that traditional remediation requires. Call Pure Maintenance of Pueblo at (719) 738-8303 to find out what’s happening in the space above your ceiling.
The first step is a free telephone consultation with a specialist. It helps you understand why you have mold, the causes, and what can be done about it — including Pure Maintenance of Pueblo services, availability, and pricing. An attic inspection is one option under our mold inspection and testing in Pueblo, CO, alongside air sampling and clearance testing.
