Factor No. 1: Size of the Affected Area

The larger the size of the mold-infested area, the higher the cost of remediation. Typically, mold affecting more than 10 square feet will require professional cleanup and removal.

Factor No. 2: Location of Mold

Mold growths are enlivened by high humidity and the presence of moisture. The more difficult an area with mold is to reach or the more expensive the finishes of an area affected by mold are, the more expensive they will be to repair.

Factor No. 3: Cause of Mold

Factor No. 4: Scope of the Damage
