Attic mold removal in Marietta, GA

Storms and ice bring large oaks and pines down on roofs. Winter ice storms coat trees and power lines across Cobb County, bringing limbs down on roofs and cutting power long enough to freeze pipes. Long, humid summers keep attic air handlers running, and clogged condensate lines overflow into upstairs ceilings.
Homes near Marietta Square include historic Victorian and early-1900s houses, while East Cobb has 1970s–1990s homes with basements and crawlspaces. Many have aging water heaters and polybutylene-era plumbing. Finished basements are common in East Cobb, so a failed sump pump or water heater can soak carpet, drywall and stored belongings at once.
