FAQ

If there is visible mold, we can develop a mold remediation plan based on containment, equipment needed, and determining the dimensions of the building materials to be removed. Once we evaluate the extent of the remediation, we will present you with an estimate and price for the work. If you have insurance, we can offer direct billing to your insurance carrier provided the damage is the result of a covered loss. Sometimes, its necessary to have air quality test and protocol done to confirm the extent of the issue.

If mold is present but fully not visible, we would recommend a licensed mold assessor (who is not a remediator) perform air quality testing and write a protocol of the work to be done to eliminate the mold problem. If the air quality testing reveals a high mold spore count in the air you are breathing, then this tells us the air handler and ducts need to be cleaned as well, which is an additional expense to the mold removal.

The price depends on many factors, such as how many areas, the amount of building materials to be removed, and if the air handler and ducts will need to be cleaned. A small remediation could be in the price range of $1500-$5000 depending on the various factors that are specific to your mold remediation such as air handler and duct cleaning, amongst other things.

Most insurance policies have a separate coverage amount for mold remediation. However, the cause of loss must be a covered loss under the insurance policy. We will work with you and your insurance company to substantiate the claim and the work that is necessary. Many times, we will suggest air quality testing and a protocol to confirm the mold issue and to provide credibility to the claim.

When you smell mold but don’t see any mold, this is typically a humidity driven mold issue which could have developed due to a leak, the ac not being on for an extended period of time, or an issue within the ac system causing mold to cross contaminate various areas of the property. Sometimes, you will see a dusting on items such as fabrics, or shoes, and this is an indicator of settled mold spores that developed in the air and has settled onto surfaces. The only way to know the full extent of this type of mold issue, is thru air quality testing.

If your air handler is in a small closet and had leaked, many times the leak goes undetected until there is an odor or it has manifested itself with visible mold. Once mold grows near an air handler, it’s possible for the air handler to pick up the elevated mold spores and cross contaminate other areas thru the duct system. 

Typically, its difficult to access drywall removal and replacement behind the tight spaces of an air handler. In this situation, the air handler would have to be detached by a licensed HVAC contractor to perform the mold remediation. After the mold removal is completed, and a post remediation clearance test is successful, then drywall can be installed, and painted, and the air handler reinstalled.

A typical mold remediation project will take between 4-5 days with post remediation testing.

This depends on the extent of the work to be performed and the locations of the mold remediation. For example, if the mold issue is in the ac closet, and we have to remove your air handler and possibly your water heater, then you wont be able to stay in the property during the work. Or if the work being performed is located in an area where you will be coming in and out daily, the you would have to relocate
until the work is complete and tested.

If your mold concern is due to the ac unit or possibly mold contamination coming from the duct system, then you may also have an air quality issue. The only way to know for sure is to have it tested by a licensed mold assessor, and have a qualified NADCA certified and licensed HVAC company evaluated your HVAC system.
