Attic mold removal questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Puyallup?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Puyallup Development Services.
Do I need flood insurance in Puyallup?
Homeowners policies exclude flood. Recent storms flooded many homes outside high-risk zones, so a separate flood policy is worth considering.
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.
