Professional mold remediation typically costs $1,100–$3,400 for an average job. Small surface mold jobs cost $500–$1,500. Severe infestations in walls, attics, or HVAC can cost $5,000–$15,000+.
Can I remove mold myself?
The EPA says areas under 10 sq ft can be DIY cleaned with diluted bleach on hard surfaces. For anything larger, porous materials (drywall, insulation), or if you have health conditions, hire a certified remediator.
