What happens when you call

The number on this page connects you with an independent mold remediation company that works in Douglasville. Be ready to describe what you found, roughly how large it is, whether a ceiling below is stained, and any recent roof, storm or AC trouble. The company then schedules an inspection. In the attic, a thorough inspector checks moisture in the decking and framing, looks at the air handler pan and drain, traces fan ducts and checks whether soffit vents are open. Ask for a written scope that lists the moisture repair, the materials coming out and the cleaning method.

Douglasville conditions

Douglasville, the Douglas County seat and largest city, is about 21 miles from Atlanta with about 34,700 residents. NWS reports that the September 2009 event's maximum 24-hour rainfall, 21.03 inches, was measured at the Douglas County Water and Sewer Authority, and local coverage put county-wide totals at 20 to 23 inches over two days. Rain on that scale finds every gap in a roof, and leaks that begin in such storms can go unnoticed under insulation. Day to day, attics here hold air handlers and ducts that sweat through humid summers, condensate lines that clog, and bath fans that sometimes vent straight into the attic.

For decking or framing replacement inside city limits, the City of Douglasville Building Division in the Community Development Department issues building permits. Renters can contact Douglasville Code Compliance about leaks a landlord hasn't fixed.

Checklist before the visit

  • Clear a path to the attic access
  • Note when the stain or smell appeared and any storms since
  • Have roof and HVAC service records handy
  • Keep children and anyone with asthma out of the attic

Attic Mold Removal questions in Douglasville

A tree hit my roof. How soon should I worry about mold?
As soon as the opening appears. Dry it in and get wet insulation out; EPA says materials that can't be dried within 24 to 48 hours are likely to grow mold.
Do I need a permit to replace roof decking?
Replacing decking or rafters is construction. Inside Douglasville city limits, check with the city Building Division; outside the city, Douglas County handles permits.
I rent. Who fixes a leaking roof and a moldy attic?
Georgia law requires landlords to keep rentals in repair (O.C.G.A. 44-7-13). Send written notice and keep a copy; Douglasville Code Compliance can be contacted about unrepaired leaks. This is general information, not legal advice.
Should the roofer or the mold company go first?
The source should be stopped first so the attic can dry. Sometimes wet insulation must come out before the roofer can see the deck, so ask both to agree on the order.
