Mold Remediation
Mold growth after water damage or in a humid space needs proper containment and removal. Tell us what you're seeing and we'll find a local pro.
Treat as an emergency if
- Visible mold growth larger than roughly 10 square feet
- A household member has a mold-related health reaction (seek medical advice first)
- Mold following recent flooding or a major leak
Non-emergency, but still worth a look
- A small patch of surface mold (e.g., bathroom tile) you'd like assessed
- A musty odor with no visible growth yet — may warrant an inspection
Typical Timeline
What to expect after you submit
Day 1
Inspection & containment
A contractor typically inspects the extent of growth and sets up containment (plastic sheeting, negative air pressure) before disturbing mold.
Days 2–5
Remediation & removal
Affected materials are removed or treated, surfaces are cleaned with antimicrobial treatments, and HEPA air scrubbing runs throughout.
Final step
Clearance & rebuild
Some contractors recommend third-party clearance testing before rebuilding removed drywall or flooring.
- Fixing the underlying moisture source (the leak or humidity causing the mold) is as important as removing visible growth — ask your contractor to address both.
- Mold remediation is frequently NOT covered by standard homeowners insurance unless it results directly from a covered water loss — ask about cost upfront.
- Reputable contractors will explain their containment and clearance process before starting work.
