Mold Remediation Cost

How Much Does Mold Remediation Cost?

Mold removal or remediation performed incorrectly can cost you more than additional money wasted .  

Incorrect mold procedures can lead to future health issues for occupants leading to costly hospital visits and law suits from tenants . 

 However, as most informed consumers are aware, the company that has the cheapest cost is not always the best option.

There are indeed many variables to take into consideration when choosing a service provider to do any type of work on your home. When it comes to mold remediation, arming oneself with as much knowledge about the subject as possible is key to determining which company is the best fit for your budget. 

Below with have a simple breakdown of Mold Remediation service levels that will compare the cost of the remediation and quality of work being done for each level.

Levels of Mold Remediation & Cost:

Mold Remediation Level 1 (Cost $500 - $1000)

The least expensive option is also the least effective. Most of the time, the services performed at this level are:

• Simply cutting the affected area away with a knife or saw
• Cleaning/scrubbing of affected area, possibly without IICRC-approved chemicals
• Affected area will not be quarantined - leaving your home susceptible to recolonization of mold spores on walls, the ceiling, below floors or in air ducts
• Mold testing may or may not be done. However, if mold testing is completed, it will more than likely be done by the removal company itself and will most likely not be done by an impartial 3rd party Industrial Hygienist (IH)
• Industrial Hygienists are certified by the American Industrial Hygiene Association, equipped with the most current and useful knowledge on Indoor Air Quality
• Companies performing testing without the use of a 3rd Party IH inherently cause a conflict of interest and could be biased. All data could be altered for the benefit of the service provider

Mold Remediation Level 2 (Cost $1,000 - $5,000)

Medium level jobs have a medium price tag. However, you won't always get that optimum level of service you hoped for. Variables to keep in mind with this level of service are:

• Like Level 1 jobs, all technicians may not be certified through the IICRC (Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification)
• The cost for mold removal will only cover a medium-sized effected area
• A third party IH may not be hired to conduct testing, causing potential risk of bias to the work being done

Mold Remediation Levels 3 (Cost $5,000 to $10,000)

Large jobs are the specialty of companies like SI Restoration. Cost may be higher, but so will the quality of the service. You can also guarantee that every measure of precaution available was taken to ensure future mold outbreaks do not occur in your home due to the recolonization of spores from the current epidemic. Some tips to remember when hiring a service provider at this level are:

• Ask for certification! Reputable companies should always be ready to provide clients with proper documentation and insurance
• Ask questions about your 3rd Party IH. Industrial Hygienists are hired on a case by case basis. Be sure you are aware of the credentials your particular IH has earned. Because IH's are 3rd party entities, their services can be swapped out easily at your request
• Make sure proper filters, like HEPA filters, are being used during your mold remediation 

Protecting your family's health is the key. Cheap costs are almost always associated with cheap service. By equipping yourself with the proper knowledge of mold removal, you will find the right cost to fit your budget.

Mold Remediation Levels 4 (Cost $10,000 and up)

Level 4 projects have the same service quality as level 3 projects but the project itself is larger so the cost is greater. 

SI Restoration is certified, insured and licensed for mold removal, including large mold removal projects.
