Many Old Jeffersonville homes have stone or brick basements, plaster walls and older plumbing, and sit behind the Ohio River floodwall.

Mold Removal questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Jeffersonville?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Jeffersonville Building Commissioner's office.
Do I need flood insurance in Jeffersonville?
Homeowners policies exclude flood. Low areas near the Ohio River are in FEMA flood zones.
Is bleach enough to kill mold?
Not on porous materials like drywall and wood. Bleach mostly lightens the surface. Porous materials with growth are usually removed, and the moisture source has to be fixed.
Do I need mold testing?
Not always. If mold is visible, the priority is removing it and fixing the moisture. Testing helps when you smell mold but can't find it, or when clearance is required.
