Mold Removal questions

Do I need a permit for repairs in New Haven?

Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of New Haven Building Department.

How do I check a Connecticut contractor?

Look up their home improvement contractor registration with the Department of Consumer Protection.

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.
