What is different about mold remediation in West Virginia

Many counties have not adopted the state building code, so whether a permit exists for your project depends on the municipality more than the work.

Owner-builder: Homeowner permits allowed where permitting exists. Mold Remediation generally requires a licensed contractor to pull the permit, even where owner-builder status is available.

Frequently asked questions

Does Florida license mold remediation?

Yes. Florida requires separate licenses for mold assessors and mold remediators, and with limited exceptions the same company cannot both assess and remediate the same property — which protects you from inflated scope.
