  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the show.

  SPEAKER_00: Today we're talking about Kennesaw Mold Remediation with ARS Mitigations, a restoration company based at 960 Shallowford Road in Kennesaw, Georgia.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_00: ARS serves homes and businesses across Kennesaw, Marrietta, Aquirth, Smyana, Mapleton, Roswell, and the Greater Atlanta area 24 hours a day.

  SPEAKER_00: So why does mold keep showing up in Georgia homes?
• 0:27
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of it comes down to humidity and water.
• 0:30
  SPEAKER_00: A burst pipe, a roof leak, water in the basement, or a slow drip under a sink that nobody noticed can leave materials damp long enough for mold to grow.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: Warning signs include a musty smell that won't go away, discoloration on drywall or trim, or a spot that keeps getting wet.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: The most important thing to know about Kennesaw mold remediation is that it starts with the moisture source.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: If you scrub a visible spot but the wall behind it is still wet, the problem usually comes back.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: ARS mitigations evaluates the affected area, finds where the water is coming from, sets up containment so debris doesn't spread into clean rooms, removes porous materials that can't be cleaned, cleans what's left, and then dries the area while taking moisture readings to confirm it's ready for repairs.
• 1:24
  SPEAKER_00: Let's answer three common questions.
• 1:27
  SPEAKER_00: First, does homeowners' insurance cover mold?
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: It depends on the cause.
• 1:32
  SPEAKER_00: Many policies cover mold from a sudden covered event, like a burst pipe, but not from long-term leaks or humidity.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: Some also cap mold coverage.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_00: Check your policy, take photos, and call your carrier early.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_00: Second, can you remove mold yourself?
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: A small surface spot on a hard surface, once the leak is fixed, is often manageable.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: But mold inside walls, in your HVAC after flood or sewage water, or across a large area is a job for a professional crew with proper containment.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: Third, how do you avoid a bad mold company?
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: Be wary of phone quotes without an inspection, high pressure same-day decisions, or promises that one spray will kill everything.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: Look for a written scope of work, a clear plan for the moisture source and EAKRC based practices.
• 2:25
