Mold Removal questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Mesa?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Mesa Development Services department.
How do I prevent monsoon roof leaks in Mesa?
Have flat-roof coatings and tile underlayment checked before July, and clear roof drains and scuppers.
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.
