Mold remediation questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Alpharetta?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Alpharetta Community Development department.
How do I keep my Alpharetta basement dry?
Keep gutters clear, extend downspouts, and test your sump pump before storm season.
Do I need a licensed company for mold removal?
It depends on your state. Texas, Florida, Louisiana and New York license mold remediation above set sizes. In other states, look for IICRC-certified remediators, insurance and a written scope.
Does bleach kill mold?
Bleach can whiten mold on hard, non-porous surfaces, but it doesn't penetrate drywall or wood and adds moisture. Removal and cleaning, plus fixing the moisture, is the reliable fix.
