before you can start renovation to a previously flooded home.
The house is going up for sell when finished.

thanks in advance.

Arrow will treat and give you a certificate for under $500.

Not required. Mostly scams. Since you're selling the house you're probably one of the few people who could justify the cost, as a selling point.

If you do get certificate make sure it is legit. There are licensed inspectors that will come out and test moisture through out the home. They will also take numerous samples and send to a lab for mold tests, etc. I know one reputable inspector that is offering this service at $650 and provides basically stamp of approval you can close in the walls.

Good to have when selling to prove everything was done right. Keep all receipts, paper work, etc through out the whole process to present to potential buyers.

Was driving in my car today and on the radio 870am and they had some state expert giving advice on what should be done with the flood homes. A caller asked him about needing a mold certificate, said it is not needed.
