Mold Removal questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in Carson City?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the Carson City Building Division.
How do I prevent frozen pipes in Carson City?
Insulate pipes in exterior walls and crawlspaces, keep the heat steady, and drip faucets during deep cold.
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.
