Morrow at a glance

Morrow is a Clayton County city of about 6,600 people along I-75, roughly 12 miles from Atlanta, home to Clayton State University, Southlake Mall and the Georgia Archives. Small bathrooms with short fan runs, common in apartments and houses all over metro Atlanta, are a reliable recipe for mildew in humid months.

A short plan

  1. Run the bathroom fan during every shower and for at least 20 minutes after.
  2. Squeegee shower walls and leave the curtain spread open to dry.
  3. Scrub visible spots on hard surfaces with detergent and water, wearing gloves and eye protection.
  4. Check the AC: a full drip pan or a slow condensate line can raise humidity throughout the unit.
  5. Replace a moldy shower curtain liner or bath mat rather than trying to save it.
  6. Track humidity with a hygrometer and aim for 30 to 50 percent, as EPA suggests.

Students and other renters should report a leak, a broken bath fan or a dripping AC line to the landlord in writing as soon as it appears, with a photo and the date. Simple surface mildew from showers is usually a tenant's cleaning job, but the water behind recurring growth is a repair the landlord needs to know about. Keeping copies of every request protects you if the problem grows.

Cost factors

Angi's Atlanta cost guide reports bathroom mold work at roughly $587 to $1,174, and larger jobs at about $12 to $29 per square foot. A Morrow quote depends on how much area is affected, whether drywall or flooring must go, and whether the source is a quick fix or a plumbing repair. Repair permits run through the City of Morrow's Planning and Economic Development office at the Morrow Municipal Complex. Renters should send repair requests to the landlord in writing; Georgia law (O.C.G.A. 44-7-13) requires landlords to keep rentals in repair. This is general information, not legal advice.

Mold & Mildew Cleanup questions in Morrow

Why does bathroom mildew keep coming back?
Most repeat growth in bathrooms traces back to steam that has nowhere to go: a weak or unused exhaust fan, a fan vented into the attic instead of outdoors, or a shower that stays wet for hours. Fix the airflow and the cleaning starts to last.
Is the mildew in my shower a health risk?
EPA says mold can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat and lungs, and people with asthma or weakened immune systems should stay away from moldy areas. If you have health concerns, talk with a health professional.
Does running the AC help with mildew?
It can. Air conditioning pulls moisture out of the air when it runs long enough, and EPA advises keeping drip pans clean and drain lines flowing. An oversized unit that cycles off quickly or a clogged condensate line can leave rooms damp even when they feel cool.
Does Georgia require a mold license for cleanup companies?
No. Georgia has no state mold license or certification, and DPH says mold work has no enforceable state or federal standards. If the job includes rebuilding drywall or other building parts, ask whether the company holds a Georgia residential or general contractor license and check it on the Secretary of State's GOALS Verify Now lookup.
