Mold Removal questions
Do I need a permit for repairs in High Point?
Cleanup and drying don't. Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of High Point Inspections Services.
How do I prevent crawlspace mold in High Point?
Use a vapor barrier, keep gutters and grading directing water away, and consider sealing the crawlspace.
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.
