Mold Removal & Remediation in Dunwoody, GA
Containment, HEPA filtration, and antimicrobial treatment remove mold colonies at the source and stop cross-contamination through the rest of the home. 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
Nancy Creek never left its banks. Why is the uphill wall wet in June?
The wall is holding the cut, not the creek. June rain on clay over granite moves downslope through the yard and against the buried face. A dry Nancy Creek and a wet basement is a normal pair on these lots. Drainage at the cut is the job.
Duluth is also Piedmont clay a few miles north. Same cut?
Duluth sits on the Chattahoochee in Gwinnett with a 1994 median and a July peak. This is a DeKalb terrace along Nancy Creek, older 1984 stock, granite closer to the surface, a June peak. Both are Piedmont clay, but the stream, the age, and the cut geometry are not interchangeable.
Did a 1984 Dunwoody basement usually get a working drain?
Sometimes a pipe, rarely a working outfall. That era often laid tile that discharges into the same clay that perches. June keeps the face wet for days. The year is not a guarantee; the buried uphill side is the thing to look at.
