What Makes Athens Different
Athens has hot, humid summers and heavy thunderstorms, so mold grows fast on anything that stays wet. Wet drywall and carpet can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours, and air conditioners that run for months can drip from a clogged drain line into ceilings and closets. Start drying the same day after any leak.
The red clay soil here holds water, and many homes sit over crawlspaces where damp air feeds mold on floor joists and insulation. A plastic vapor barrier, working vents and gutters that carry water away from the house keep a crawlspace dry. Strong storms also bring down big trees, so cover any roof opening with a tarp as soon as it is safe.
Thousands of students rent homes and apartments near the university, and many of those buildings are older. If you rent, tell your landlord in writing about any leak or mold right away, take photos with dates and keep copies. Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint and asbestos, so test before any repair that disturbs old materials.

Checking a License in Athens, Georgia
Georgia licenses residential and general contractors through the State Licensing Board for Residential and General Contractors. Ask for the license number and look it up with the Georgia Secretary of State before you sign. Georgia has no separate mold license, so ask whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage and mold remediation, and ask for proof of liability and workers compensation insurance.
