Southeast Restoration

Southeast Restoration holds a 4.8-star rating across 504 Google reviews, which stands out given Augusta's climate challenges. The area averages 69% relative humidity and 47 inches of annual rainfall yearly, and most homes here were built around 1979 - conditions that create real mold risk. That rating suggests the company has handled the moisture and mold problems homeowners in this region actually face. When you're deciding whether to call, that track record in a humid, older-home market is worth noting.

Before you hire, know that Georgia doesn't require a specific mold remediation license, so verify the contractor's qualifications yourself. Look for IICRC S520 certification and confirm they carry both general liability and pollution liability insurance. One important caveat: Southeast Restoration is listed as a mold inspector, and industry standards flag a potential conflict of interest when the same company both inspects and performs remediation work. If you want an independent assessment, a standalone mold inspection in this region typically costs $200 to $600. Consider getting a separate inspection before moving forward with any remediation.
