From the books — a recent Atlanta job
Recent Atlanta job: black mold growing on drywall behind a wallpapered bathroom in a any era; older homes more vulnerable home. We S520 containment, removed all affected drywall and tile substrate, treated framing with antimicrobial, post-remediation verification testing passed after diagnosing slow leak from a shower valve had been wetting the drywall for 18+ months. Cost ran $386 — pretty middle-of-the-road for that fix.
Scope of work
Mold work follows IICRC S520 protocol: contain the area first to prevent spore spread, then remediate. Skipping containment is the #1 mistake unlicensed mold contractors make.
We set up plastic barrier walls around the affected area, run negative air pressure with HEPA-filtered air scrubbers (typically 4-6 air changes per hour), and the crew works in PPE inside the contained area.
Visible mold growth on porous materials (drywall, carpet, padding, fabric) is removed and bagged. Hard surfaces are HEPA-vacuumed and treated with EPA-registered antimicrobials.
After remediation, we run post-remediation verification (PRV) testing — usually third-party — to confirm the affected area returns to baseline.
Local context for Atlanta
Our techs know the Atlanta area: housing stock, soil, water main configurations, the parts that usually fail first.
Most of our Atlanta mold remediation jobs come from older neighborhoods, where the housing stock just has more failure points.
