Attic mold removal questions
Should a North Carolina crawlspace be encapsulated?
Encapsulation (a sealed vapor barrier plus dehumidification) is a common fix for chronically damp crawlspaces, but the drainage and plumbing problems should be fixed first.
How do I verify a North Carolina contractor?
Search the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors, and check trade licenses with their respective boards.
Is attic mold a deal-breaker when selling a house?
Not usually, if it's remediated and the cause is fixed with documentation. Buyers mainly want proof it was handled correctly.
