The Dangers of Mold
Mold is a fungus that can cause people to develop respiratory health problems. Damp and humid environmental conditions will cause mold spores to grow and spread. If you or anyone else on your property inhale these mold spores, you could develop breathing problems or long-term health issues. That is why you must rid your home of all mold before it has a chance to grow and endanger your health.
Mold typically grows on surfaces made of organic matter, such as drywall and wood. You can normally use standard household cleaners to remove a small amount of mold. But if the moldy area is over ten square feet, then you should call a professional mold remediation specialist right away. Professionals have the proper training, tools, and equipment to remove mold safely without endangering anyone’s health or property. If you need mold damage repair in San Diego, give us a call today!

Mold Remediation Costs
The cost depends on many variables that a mold specialist could estimate the cost when they come in for an inspection. Several different factors go into the price of the service. When a mold specialist comes to your home to investigate your mold problem, they will focus on the location and severity of the affected area. These are the two most significant factors that influence the price tag of a mold remediation service.
First, of course, you have to pay for the initial inspection of your property. Most mold remediation companies charge between $200 and $600 just for the on-site mold inspection. So even if the specialist doesn’t find any mold, you still have to pay the $200 to $600 inspection fee. The inspection should include a scope of work which will help you to determine the mold remediation cost in full. Also, make sure to ask if the mold remediation cost on a quote includes full restoration!
It is a comprehensive inspection that may take up to 5 hours if you have a large property. The specialist will examine all the vulnerable areas of your home, such as the flooring, drywall, ceilings, furniture, bathrooms, kitchens, and garages. In addition, the specialist may even test the air quality to determine if you have airborne mold spores in one or more rooms of your home. An air test will cost an additional $30 to $150 per sample.
Now you may find an air sample test is not necessary. The specialist may simply present that option to you in case you’re worried about mold spores in the air for some reason. But if you elect not to get any air sample testing, your only expenses will be for the inspection and any needed mold remediation
Mold Remediation Cost Beyond the Home
If mold is only found in the crawlspaces of your home, the removal cost can only properly be assessed by an expert who actually sees the damage. If the specialist finds mold on your walls, air ducts, or attic space, it may cost more than a typical mold remediation jobs. In the unfortunate event that your home’s structure has already suffered widespread mold damage, the remediation costs could be significantly greater, but absolutely needed.

Mold Remediators in San Diego often only do the remediation, that is like calling a demolition company but NOT the construction company to rebuild. Calling 2 or more companies in to do work will often increase your mold remediation cost to get back to normal, you will need restoration eventually. Call a restoration company first!
Yes, some homeowners will call the nearby remediation company to find they cannot rebuild! They often find out after they signed the contract, at the fault of the homeowner not understanding, they have paid for overpriced remediation services, and the rebuild part was not mentioned by the services party.
