Mold Removal & Remediation in Brookhaven, GA
Containment, HEPA filtration, and antimicrobial treatment eliminate mold colonies at the source and prevent cross-contamination throughout the property. Mold remediation removes affected porous materials and corrects the moisture source that allowed growth. The work is done under containment with HEPA filtration so spores are not carried into unaffected rooms, and the area is cleared only once the underlying moisture problem has been resolved.

Remediation is the step after the assessment, not before it. A local pro establishes how far the growth extends and what is feeding it, because removing what is visible while the moisture source is still running puts the same colony back in the same wall. Texas and several other states also set a square-footage point above which the work has to be done by a licensed remediator — the service note below covers where that line falls in this city.

Frequently asked questions
The crawl fills after a storm the roof barely noticed. Why?
The house is on the bottoms. Peachtree Creek and the North Fork come up into bungalow crawls from below after a July cell, so what fell on the roof has little to do with how much water arrives. Position on the lot decides this, not the gutters.
The house is infill on a slab. Is the creek still in play?
Not as overbank flow if the lot is off the bottom. The slab job is clay runoff into a swale that still feeds the North Fork. A downhill bungalow can take an infill lot's grade with the creek quiet. A downhill crawl on the North Fork can take an infill lot's grade with the creek quiet, which is why the slab still matters.
A new house went up next door and now we take water. Coincidence?
Unlikely. Piedmont clay sheds nearly everything that lands on it, so an infill lot regraded above you sends the same July cell straight into the slab below. The rain did not change; the surface uphill of you did.
