How Much is Mold Removal Going to Cost?
The most significant factor in determining the cost of mold removal is the size of the area affected. Typically, mold removal companies charge by the square foot.
Areas up to 10 square feet, such as a bathroom corner or under a sink, typically cost the least. This includes containment, removal, and cleanup.
- Areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, closets, and dens.
For areas between 10 and 100 square feet, such as parts of a basement or attic, costs are generally higher due to the increased complexity.
- ProEnviro offers full basement mold removal and full attic mold removal. We also work in crawlspaces.
Extensive mold infestations over 100 square feet require more resources and expertise, which significantly impacts the overall cost.
- This usually applies to commercial buildings such as hotels, shopping centers, sports arenas, and more. All of which ProEnviro offers mold removal in.
Location and Accessibility
The location of the mold can impact the cost as well. Mold hidden behind walls, under flooring, or in hard-to-reach places will typically require more labor and possibly demolition, increasing the overall cost.
ProEnviro offers testing for mold that is not visible to us. If there is mold hiding behind walls and floors, We also do wall repairs and make sure our mess is cleaned up.
Type of Mold
While most molds can be handled with standard removal techniques, certain types like black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) may require specialized treatment due to their toxicity, which can add to the cost.
Mycotoxin mold removal is our most extensive type of mold removal which removes mold down to the bare minimum, killing the source. Mycotoxin removal ensures there is 0 mold remaining.
Extent of Damage
If mold has caused structural damage, such as rotting wood or drywall, additional repairs will be needed, which can increase the cost.
ProEnviro does the repairs ourselves, or if it is a bigger area requiring more work, we will hire a certified contractor to ensure the room is perfect.
Additional Considerations:
Preventive Measures: Investing in preventive measures, such as improved ventilation or waterproofing, can help prevent mold from returning, potentially saving money in the long run.
Insurance Coverage: Check if your insurance policy covers mold remediation. Some policies might cover the cost if the mold is due to a covered peril, like a burst pipe.
