Mold remediation questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Anderson?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Anderson Building Codes department.
Does insurance cover tree damage in Anderson?
Usually yes when a tree falls on your home during a storm.
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.
