In episode #363, Steve dives into a common but often overlooked entry point for moisture: missing roof shingles. A single missing shingle can lead to water intrusion that quickly escalates into a serious toxic mold problem within your attic and home. Steve explains how even minor roof damage can compromise your home’s air quality. He discusses why homeowners shouldn't wait for a visible ceiling leak to take action and the specific ways moisture trapped in the roof deck can foster mold growth before you ever see it. The Dangers of Delayed Repair: Why missing shingles are a ticking time bomb for mycotoxins. Attic Inspection 101: What to look for during your next roof assessment to prevent moisture intrusion. Next Steps: Steve shares practical advice on when to call a professional and how to address potential mold that has already started to form. Steve wraps up the episode by highlighting resources available at CNC Contractor Services and reminding listeners to stay proactive about their home's health. We appreciate all of you—stay safe and stay well!

In episode 360, Steve talks about the red flags to watch for when it comes to mold remediation. Don't use a company that depends on spraying or fogging the home.
