Mold in your attic often goes unnoticed for years. By the time you find it, it’s usually covering rafters, sheathing, and insulation.
Attic mold removal in Pueblo, CO almost always starts the same way: someone finally goes up there and doesn't like what they find.
Most homeowners never go into their attic. You might climb up once to store holiday decorations and that’s it. So when mold takes hold up there, it can grow unchecked for months or years before anyone notices. The discovery usually comes at the worst possible time—a home inspector flags it during a sale, an HVAC technician spots it while servicing your unit, or you notice dark staining on your ceiling and trace it back to what’s happening above. By that point, mold is typically spread across roof sheathing, rafters, and insulation throughout the attic space.

“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.”
Attic mold is almost always a ventilation or moisture problem. A common cause in Pueblo is bathroom exhaust fans that vent directly into the attic instead of outside. Every hot shower pumps warm, moist air straight into a space that’s not designed to handle it. That moisture condenses on the cold underside of roof sheathing—especially during Pueblo’s cold winter nights—and mold follows. Other causes include blocked soffit vents, inadequate ridge ventilation, roof leaks that go undetected, and HVAC equipment in the attic that produces condensation. If you see dark discoloration on the underside of your roof decking, white or gray fuzzy growth on rafters, or your attic has a strong musty smell, you have an active mold problem that won’t resolve on its own.
Attics are one of the hardest spaces to treat using traditional methods. The geometry of rafters, sheathing, and insulation creates thousands of surfaces at awkward angles that are nearly impossible to scrub, sand, or spray by hand. Many traditional companies resort to removing all the insulation, physically sanding or wire-brushing every timber, and then reinsulating—a process that takes days and costs a fortune. Our approach using Pure Maintenance’s patented VaPURE technology is fundamentally different. The antimicrobial sterilant disperses through the attic and reaches the rafters, sheathing, joists, insulation, and the tight junctions where they meet. It treats mold where hand methods can’t practically reach. The second stage applies a protective antimicrobial coating across those same surfaces that helps inhibit future growth. The home has to be empty during the VaPURE treatment, with people, pets, and plants out. Most families are back the same day. We also identify the ventilation or moisture issue that caused the problem so you can get it corrected and prevent recurrence.
Traditional attic mold removal is one of the most expensive remediation jobs there is. Stripping insulation, hand-treating every timber surface, and reinsulating a full attic adds up quickly. Our VaPURE process treats the same space in a fraction of the time and often preserves existing insulation, which dramatically reduces cost. Pricing depends on the size of your attic and the severity of the growth. We provide an upfront estimate after inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. If your attic mold was discovered during a home inspection for a sale, we work efficiently to get clearance testing completed quickly so the transaction can move forward.
Attic mold needs a treatment that can get into a complex, cramped space, and that’s what our VaPURE technology was built for. No sanding, no wire brushing, no stripping out insulation. Every treatment is verified with independent post-treatment lab testing, and we guarantee indoor mold levels will be lower than outdoor levels. If a failed home inspection brought you here, we understand the urgency and work to get you clearance documentation fast. Pure Maintenance of Pueblo serves Pueblo County and Southern Colorado.
