Got Mold? Do I need to....
Two Physical areas of concern I could use some advice on.
1. Two Car Detached garage. Roof needs to be ripped and replaced as the garage is riddled with roof looks....so many and so bad that the ceiling in the garage needs replacement too. Obvious visible mold on multiple sections of ceiling. Knowing I have to tear down the ceiling and replace roof do I need to get abatement team in their prior to demo, after demo or...???
2. Main house roof, overall, looks to be in pretty good condition. However, there is a clear leak over just one bedroom. There was a plastic sheet (black garbage bag) taped up on the ceiling, when removed, revealed a water spots and some mold forming maybe about a 2ftx2ft area. Do I need abatement for this at all since it is so small and the rest of the rooms /house show no visible indications of leaks or molds?
TIA!
