  • Extent and location of mold growth
  • Whether drywall or materials must be removed
  • Source of moisture (must be fixed or mold returns)
  • HVAC involvement

Pro Tips

  • Fix the moisture source first — remediation without fixing the leak is temporary
  • Get an independent air quality test before and after remediation
  • Ask for an IICRC-certified remediator for highest standards
  • Do not disturb mold before containment is set up — it spreads spores

1–5 days for most projects; large infestations can take 1–2 weeks

Mold Remediation FAQ

Is mold remediation covered by homeowners insurance?

It depends on the cause. Mold resulting from a covered peril (burst pipe, roof leak) may be covered. Mold from long-term neglect or gradual moisture problems typically is not.

Can I remediate mold myself?

Small areas of surface mold (under 10 sq ft) can be cleaned by a careful homeowner using N-95 respirators, gloves, goggles, and EPA-registered fungicide. Larger areas or black mold infestations should always be handled by certified professionals.
