SERVPRO of South Atlanta

Many Atlanta homeowners make the mistake of hiring the cheapest mold contractor without checking credentials. Georgia doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, so it's on you to verify that whoever you hire holds IICRC S520 certification and carries both general liability and pollution liability insurance. This matters because mold work done poorly can actually spread the problem instead of fixing it. SERVPRO of South Atlanta is worth considering - they're rated 4.8 stars across 117 Google reviews, which suggests they know what they're doing.

Atlanta's climate works against you here: the city averages 72% relative humidity and 50 inches of rain yearly, creating ideal conditions for mold growth. Couple that with the fact that many homes in Atlanta were built in 1979 or earlier, and you've got older structures that are especially vulnerable. A typical remediation project in this area runs between $1300 and $4000, depending on the scope. Before you sign anything with SERVPRO of South Atlanta or any contractor, ask to see proof of their IICRC certification and both insurance policies in writing.
