Athens Water Damage

Many homeowners in Athens make the mistake of hiring the first contractor who answers the phone, without checking whether they carry the right insurance or certifications. Since Georgia doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, you'll want to verify that any contractor you hire has IICRC S520 certification plus both general liability and pollution liability insurance. Athens Water Damage is a solid choice to consider, with a 4.7-star rating across 77 Google reviews from local customers who've dealt with mold issues.

Given that Athens averages 72% relative humidity and 46 inches of rain annually, mold problems aren't uncommon here, especially in older homes like many of the ones built around 1986. You can expect a typical remediation project to run somewhere between $1,300 and $3,950. Before you sign anything with Athens Water Damage or any contractor, ask them directly about their IICRC S520 certification and request proof of their insurance coverage.
