Mold Remediation
9,707 companies across 45 US metro areas list mold remediation work. Here is what the job involves, what you can do yourself, and how to pick one.
What the Job Involves
Mold remediation means finding the moisture that feeds mold, fixing it, and then physically removing the growth without spreading spores through the rest of the home. A proper job sets up plastic containment, runs air scrubbers with HEPA filters under negative pressure, removes moldy porous materials like drywall and insulation, cleans framing, and HEPA vacuums the area before it is closed back up.
Killing mold is not the goal. Dead mold still carries allergens. The goal is removal and a dry building. That is why a quote that only mentions spraying a product over the growth, with no plan for the moisture source, is a warning sign.
What You Can Do Yourself
DIY with care
Federal guidance treats about 10 square feet, roughly a 3 by 3 foot patch, as the line for a careful homeowner with gloves, goggles and an N95. Past that, or when mold is inside walls, in the HVAC system, or someone in the home has asthma or a weak immune system, hire a specialist.
Questions to Ask Any Company
- Where do you think the moisture is coming from, and who fixes it?
- Will you set up containment and negative air, and how will you protect the rest of the home?
- Who does the clearance testing after the work, and is that person independent from you?
- What exactly will you remove, and what will you clean and keep?
- Is your company licensed for mold work where this job is?
