What happens when you call

The number on this page connects you with an independent local remediation company; this site is a free referral service and does no mold work itself. Tell the company which rooms are affected, how big the growth looks, and whether a leak, storm or AC problem came first. A typical first visit includes:

A walk-through of the affected area and the rooms around it
Moisture readings on walls, floors and framing
A look for the water source, inside and out
A written scope covering containment, removal and drying

Ask who will repair the water source. Remediation companies remove growth, but a plumber or roofer may need to fix the leak first.

What drives the cost

Angi's Atlanta cost guide reports an average remediation cost of about $2,775 and a common range of $1,249 to $4,363. The biggest variables are square footage, whether drywall, carpet or insulation must be torn out, how many rooms need to be sealed off, and the rebuild afterward. Growth in an HVAC system is a separate, pricier job; Angi lists $3,522 to $11,740 for HVAC work in Atlanta.

Local conditions in Conley

Conley is an unincorporated community of about 6,700 people on the northern edge of Clayton County, roughly 8 miles from Atlanta, best known for manufacturing and trucking along US 23 (Moreland Avenue) and Georgia 42. Clayton County was among the Georgia counties under a state of emergency during the September 2009 floods. Day to day, the usual culprits are slab leaks, failing roofs, bathrooms without exhaust fans and AC condensate lines that back up during long, humid summers. For the unincorporated Clayton part of Conley, building permits come from Clayton County Community & Economic Development in Jonesboro. Part of the Conley area extends into a neighboring county, so confirm which county your address is in before applying. Renters can report leaks and plumbing problems to Clayton County Code Enforcement, which says it does not handle mold itself but may act on the underlying leaks.

Short checklist before the company arrives

Stop any active leak at the shutoff valve

Black Mold Removal questions in Conley

Will the county health department come look at black mold?

The Clayton County Board of Health is a resource for health questions, but Georgia DPH says indoor mold has no enforceable state or federal standards, so home inspections for mold are generally not offered.

My landlord won't fix the leak behind the mold. What are my options?

Georgia landlords must keep a rental in repair (O.C.G.A. 44-7-13). Put the request in writing. Clayton County Code Enforcement may act on leaks and plumbing problems, though not on mold itself. This is general information, not legal advice.

Is dark mold riskier than green or white mold?

No. You cannot judge risk by color. EPA says any mold can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat and lungs, and anyone with health concerns should see a health professional.

Should the air conditioning stay off while dark mold is present?

If mold is in or near the ductwork, yes. EPA says running a contaminated HVAC system can spread mold through the building.
