Attic mold removal questions
Does flood insurance matter outside Virginia's coast?
Yes. Flash flooding and river flooding affect inland areas too, and homeowners policies don't cover rising water.
How do I verify a Virginia contractor?
Use the DPOR license lookup to check the contractor's Board for Contractors license and class.
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.
