Mold removal
Mold remediation in Green Bay, WI
Mold remediation removes mold growth under containment so spores don't spread, cleans or discards affected materials, and corrects the moisture problem that let it grow. Several states, including Texas, Florida, Louisiana and New York, license mold remediation, so check your state's rules.

Wisconsin cold freezes pipes in exterior walls, garages and crawlspaces.
Astor and Fort Howard have early-1900s homes with basements. The East and West sides have many 1940s–1970s homes with finished basements and sump pumps. Most homes have basements, many partly finished with carpet and drywall. Spring snowmelt and storms overwhelm sump pumps, and a burst pipe in a garage or exterior wall during deep cold can flood the lower level before anyone notices.
Licensing in Wisconsin: Wisconsin requires dwelling contractors to hold a Dwelling Contractor credential from the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) to pull permits for one- and two-family homes.

Mold remediation questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Green Bay?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Green Bay Inspection department.
How do I prevent ice dams in Green Bay?
Improve attic insulation and ventilation, and remove heavy snow from the roof edge safely.
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.
