Attic mold removal questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Pensacola?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Pensacola Inspections Services or Escambia County Building Services.
Does homeowners insurance cover hurricane flooding in Pensacola?
No. Wind damage is usually covered under your homeowners policy, but rising water needs a separate flood policy.
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.
