Questions
Do you cover all of Altamonte Springs?
Yes, including ZIPs 32714, 32701. The company that calls you will confirm your address is in its area.
How fast can someone come out?
It depends on the day and the season; the weeks after a hurricane are the busiest. Say in your request if water is still coming in or if someone at home has asthma. The company will tell you when it can come.
Do I need a mold assessor first?
Florida doesn't require one before remediation. But if you hire an assessor, that company can't do the removal on your house for 12 months, which is the point: the assessment is independent. For a small patch under 10 square feet, or a homeowner doing their own work, no license is required.
