Mold is a type of invasive fungi, typically found in areas where there have been significant levels of moistures. Not only do they ruin the overall appearance of surfaces they infest, but they pose health hazards to you and those around you.
This could be in the form of asthma symptoms, irritation of the eyes, throat, and nose. As such, once you discover that you have a mold problem, its best to take care of it promptly. But how much does mold remediation cost?
Causes
Sadly, mold spores are everywhere around us and once they find a location that has the right levels of moisture, they grow exponentially. This includes the bathrooms, kitchen, basement, attic as well as bedrooms.
CostÂ
When it comes to the cost of mold removal, it generally depends on the location where the mold has invaded and the difficulty of mold remediation. As such, the price typically ranges from anything between $500 to $4,000.
DIY Vs. Contractor Remediation
The good news is that unless you are allergic to mold, you can easily deal with mold remediation yourself. In fact, according to the EPA standards, if the mold has spread an area less than 100 sq. feet, you can easily deal with it yourself. But, in case the area covered by mold is more than that due to incidents such as flooding or leaking plumbing, you should get a certified contractor to do the job.
