Mold Testing in Fayetteville, GA

What happens when you call

Calling the number on this page connects you with an independent local mold inspector. They will ask what you noticed, where and since when, plus any leaks, storms or plumbing failures. Sampling is not automatic. If mold is plainly visible and the cause is clear, a good inspector may tell you to skip the lab and fix the water. When testing will help, the visit usually includes a moisture survey, air samples in the affected rooms and one outdoors for comparison, and swabs or bulk samples where a stain or damaged material needs identifying. The lab report lists types and counts, and the inspector should explain what they mean for your house. EPA has set no federal limits for mold, so the comparison with outdoor air is what gives the numbers meaning.

What sets the price

Fayetteville conditions

Fayetteville is the Fayette County seat, established in 1823 and named for the Marquis de Lafayette, about 20 miles south of Atlanta. Its homes share the region's moisture drivers: long humid summers, heavy thunderstorms, slow-draining clay soil and air conditioning that runs much of the year, often through ducts in a crawl space or attic. City Code Enforcement takes complaints online and sends building code issues, drainage and dilapidated structures to the city's Building and Inspections office, which is also where permits for rebuilding come from. Renters should give the landlord written notice of a leak before contacting the city. The Fayette County health department, part of DPH District 4, handles health questions.

Before the inspector comes

• Leave suspect growth alone; don't bleach or paint it.
• Note dates of leaks, storms and repairs.
• Clear the way to the attic, crawl space and air handler.
• Ask whether to keep windows and doors closed beforehand.
