Mold Removal questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Boca Raton?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of Boca Raton Building Permits and Inspections department.
How do I protect my seasonal Boca Raton home?
Shut off the main water, keep the AC running to control humidity, and have someone check the home after storms.
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.
