Not sure about ridding it of the existing mold, but the conditions which caused it can usually be remedied with adequate attic ventilation. Call an experienced roofer or contractor or have your attic ventilation system inspected.

Is Attic mold and mildew covered?

There is no difference between mold and mildew scientifically speaking. Mold in the attic can be covered if it occurs as a result of a covered loss... like a major storm removes shingles which causes a leak which results in mold. Attic mold that occurs as a result of ice damming can be covered as well.... ice damming is when snow builds up on the roof and then is melted from the bottom side from heat escaping from the house.... the water will back up under the shingles and leak into the wall cavities...this can be covered under most policies... Most attic mold however is the result of condensation which occurs when hot air escapes into the attic and condenses against the cold boards of the roof.....this is a result of improper ventilation and is considered to be an uncovered maintenance issue.... learn more at www.safemoldsolutions.com
