Mold Remediation in Peachtree Corners, GA

One of Gwinnett's newest cities

Peachtree Corners incorporated on July 1, 2012, which makes it one of Gwinnett County's youngest cities, though the area grew up decades earlier as a planned community around Technology Park Atlanta. About 42,200 people lived here at the 2020 Census. In a straight line it's about 18 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta. Peachtree Parkway (GA 141) and Spalding Drive are the main routes, and Peachtree Station and Spalding Corners are familiar neighborhood names.

The river and the house

About seven miles of the Chattahoochee River run along the city's northern and western border, past Simpsonwood Park and Jones Bridge Park. Lots that slope toward the river or its tributaries can push groundwater against basement walls, especially in the region's red clay, which drains slowly after a hard thunderstorm.

Inside, the common triggers are a leaking roof, a dripping supply line, or an AC system that runs most of the year with a condensate pan in the attic. EPA advises cleaning drip pans and keeping drain lines flowing. If you suspect mold in the ductwork, EPA says not to run the system until it's checked, because it can spread spores through the house.

The size of the affected area, access, and how much material comes out drive the final price.

City contacts

The City of Peachtree Corners Building Division at City Hall on Technology Parkway issues residential building, roof, demolition and trade permits. A mold job that turns into a roof replacement or a framing repair may need one.

Code Enforcement sits in the Community Development Department and enforces the city's Property Maintenance Code. The city's quick-reference guide to that code focuses on exterior surfaces and building components, so a renter with an unfixed leak should frame the complaint around the roof, siding, windows or plumbing failure. Georgia landlords must keep premises in repair (O.C.G.A. 44-7-13). This is general information, not legal advice.

GNR Health is the Gwinnett health district; its complaint categories don't include private homes. For health concerns, check with a health professional.

Before you hire

Georgia has no state mold license. A company that also does the rebuild should hold a Georgia residential or general contractor license, which you can confirm on GOALS Verify Now. An independent inspector for the assessment and the final check is worth considering. Call the number on this page to reach an independent local company, and be ready to describe where the water came from.
