Mold Removal questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Sioux Falls?
Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Sioux Falls Building Services.
Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage in Sioux Falls?
Generally yes, subject to your deductible. Some policies have separate wind and hail deductibles.
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.
