Cleaning the attic isn't always on the top of the list of things to do. That is, until rodent infestations, water damage, or other issues make it a priority to-do.
Proper attic cleaning can protect your home against rodents, eliminate allergens caused by the presence of mold, and reduce energy expenses.

But fortunately, this is an easy fix. Consistent dusting, vacuuming and an overall quality cleaning will do wonders for your attic and the health of your home as a whole.
During the winter, water can find its way into your attic through cracks. The recent snowstorm in January left many people with excess moisture in their attics due to the accumulation of snow.
