Flood Medics Restoration Services

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs that require different expertise. An inspector identifies where mold is growing, what type it is, and how severe the problem has become. A remediation contractor then removes it and fixes the underlying moisture issue. When the same company does both, they have a financial incentive to recommend expensive treatments whether you need them or not. That's why industry standards recommend keeping these services separate. South Fulton's humid climate, with 73% relative humidity and 50 inches of rain yearly, creates ideal conditions for mold growth, especially in homes like the median South Fulton residence built in 2002.

If you've discovered mold, start by hiring an independent mold inspector to give you an objective assessment. A standalone inspection typically costs $200-$600 in this region. Once you have that report, you can reach out to remediation contractors like Flood Medics Restoration Services for repair estimates and a second opinion. When you're reviewing proposals, verify that any contractor you're considering holds IICRC S520 certification and carries both general liability and pollution liability insurance, since Georgia doesn't require a specific mold remediation license.
