Found mold?

What to do first

Three steps, whatever kind of mold it is.

1. Stop the water

Fix the leak or the humidity. Mold cannot grow without moisture. If a leak caused it, dry the area within 24 to 48 hours (EPA).

2. Do not disturb it

Brushing, sanding or dry wiping spreads spores. Keep fans off the area.

3. Measure it

Under 10 sq ft on a hard surface? You can usually clean it yourself (EPA). Bigger, or inside a wall? Call a pro.

You do not need a test if you can see mold (EPA, CDC). See mold testing. After a leak or flood, read mold removal after water damage.

Cost

What does it cost?

Boston-area jobs average about $2,450 (Angi). Your price depends on:

  • How much area is affected.
  • Whether drywall, insulation or carpet must be replaced.
  • How hard the space is to reach.
  • Whether the leak itself needs repair.

Read the mold removal cost guide.

Before you hire anyone

Massachusetts does not license mold removal. The state DPH suggests you:

  • Ask for references and a written scope.
  • Have them visit before work starts.
  • Pay in installments. Hold back the final payment.
  • Check registration on Mass.gov.

Leak or flood?

The next 48 hours matter

Dry the area within 24 to 48 hours and mold usually will not grow (EPA). After that, call.

Questions

Common questions

How much does mold removal cost in Dunstable, MA?

It depends on how much is affected and how hard it is to reach. Boston-area jobs average about $2,450 (Angi). See the mold removal cost guide.

Is mold dangerous?

It can irritate the eyes, nose, throat and lungs, and trigger allergies and asthma (EPA, CDC). If anyone at home is affected, see a doctor.

Do I need a mold test?

Usually not. The EPA, CDC and Massachusetts DPH all say you do not need one if you can see mold. See mold testing for the exceptions.

Can I remove mold myself?

Under about 10 square feet on a hard surface, usually yes (EPA). Fix the leak first. For anything bigger, or mold inside walls, call a professional.

Does insurance cover mold removal?

Sometimes. Many policies cover mold from a sudden event like a burst pipe, but not from slow leaks. Check with your agent before work starts. See mold and insurance.

What is the difference between mold removal and mold remediation?

People use both for the same job. Remediation is the fuller version: cleaning up the mold, fixing the moisture behind it and checking the result. See mold remediation.
