About White

White is a town of about 660 people in Bartow County, roughly 42 miles northwest of Atlanta and about 9 miles north of Cartersville along US 411, with the motto The Friendliest Mile in Georgia. Homes here share the region's long humid summers and heavy storms. Crawl spaces, attic ductwork and rooms kept closed for long periods are common places for mildew to get started.

Steps to take now

  1. Check humidity and aim for 30 to 50 percent, as EPA recommends.
  2. Look for drips under sinks, at the water heater and around the AC.
  3. Open closets and move stored boxes off exterior walls.
  4. Clean hard surfaces with detergent and water while wearing gloves, goggles and an N-95 mask.
  5. Dry the area fully and throw out porous items that still smell.
  6. Call a professional if the spot returns or covers more than about 10 square feet.

For a small, older house, the biggest gains often come from the outside: clean gutters, downspouts carried away from the foundation and soil sloped away from the walls keep water from soaking into the crawl space.

Mold & Mildew Cleanup questions in White

What is the difference between mold and mildew?
Mildew is the everyday name for mold growing flat on a surface, usually gray, white or black specks on grout, caulk, fabric or painted walls. It is cleaned the same way as other mold and comes from the same cause: moisture that is not drying out.
Why does bathroom mildew keep coming back?
Most repeat growth in bathrooms traces back to steam that has nowhere to go: a weak or unused exhaust fan, a fan vented into the attic instead of outdoors, or a shower that stays wet for hours. Fix the airflow and the cleaning starts to last.
I rent and the mildew keeps coming back. What can I do?
Put the repair request in writing and keep a copy; Georgia law (O.C.G.A. 44-7-13) requires landlords to keep rentals in repair, and Georgia does not allow rent withholding. Ask the Town of White or Bartow County which office takes housing or property maintenance complaints for your address. This is general information, not legal advice.
Do I need a permit for mildew cleanup?
Cleaning mildew is not permit work. If the cleanup leads to replacing drywall, subfloor or other building parts, ask the Town of White or Bartow County which office issues permits for your address.
