Mold Issue with House
Hey there BP friends. I am currently house hacking in CT. We bought the house with a known mold issue in the attic which we was removed. Now, three months later, the mold is back worse than before. Who do we call to help not only remove the mold but fix the problem causing it? Any advice and direction very much appreciated.

Never remove mold without fixing the underlying problem.
Can't tell you much without seeing your home/looking at the problem.
Look for the water source.
In an attic, likely suspects are roof leaking amd humidity.
Humidity mold could be from inadequate ventilation, or improper exhaust.
Make sure vents are done at least close to correct, and make sure bath fans and dryer discharge to outside, rather than into attic.
