Vinings in brief

Vinings is a historic unincorporated community in Cobb County, about 9 miles from downtown Atlanta, between I-285 and the Chattahoochee River across from Buckhead. Because it is unincorporated, Cobb County handles permits and code complaints. Wooded lots, humid summers and attic HVAC systems are the main attic moisture drivers here. Many homes sit under mature hardwoods that shade the roof, fill valleys with leaves and keep shingles damp long after a storm has passed, while attic ducts sweat through the cooling season.

What to do now

Find the source: check the area above the growth for a leak, duct, fan outlet or the AC pan.
If the air handler is in the moldy area, hold off running it until it is checked. EPA warns that a contaminated system can spread mold.
Keep the attic access closed and do not scrape large patches.
Photograph the attic, insulation and any ceiling stains.
Get the source repaired and the cleanup scheduled.
Before replacing decking or framing, contact the Cobb County Community Development Building Division, which enforces building codes in unincorporated Cobb.
