NEW! Do you have a question about mold? Are you in the middle of a mold battle and needing some help or advice? Ask your question today.

When it comes to having mold removed from your home, one of the things youll need to consider is the remediation cost. Of course, the safety and health of your family (there are 7 good ways to know if a mold is dangerous) is more important than the price youll have to pay to remove the mold, but its still a good idea to be aware of how much something might cost you. If the area is a small one (weve got 5 tips for fighting a small infestation), you can remove the mold yourself with just a few dollars worth of cleaning supplies. If youre concerned about breathing the spores, you can get a respirator, and youll still only have spent around $120 to $150.

When The Job Is Too Big

For large areas, though, youll need specialists. The remediation cost will be much different if you have someone do it for you, but big areas cant be handled very easily be a homeowner, so it may be worth posting a few jobs on Gumtree (in the UK) or Craiglist (in the US) for this and see what responses you get. One of the things a mold remediation specialist can do is clean areas like the crawlspace under your home and the ductwork in the walls and attic. Mold spores that get into your heating and cooling system can just get recirculated through your home, continuing to make you sick even if youve cleaned up the area where you originally found the mold.

Alright, so what can it cost?

The remediation cost of a crawlspace can really vary. It could average as little as $500 or as much as $4,000. If the attic and wall ducts are involved, the cost for those generally ranges from $2,000 to $6,000. If your home has been flooded and the mold is all throughout it, there is much more that has to be done. This could drive your remediation cost up to $10,000 to $30,000 and it could even go higher, depending on the size of your home.

Remember Insurance Considerations

When youre considering insurance, make sure you get something that will cover at least part of the remediation cost if you live in a flood zone (weve got some tips on handling water damage claims). Most consumers dont have that kind of money to spend out of pocket, and you probably dont, either. Even though youll have an idea of how much something should cost, be sure to shop around. The first company you find might not be the best one for your needs. The price may be different, and you also have to pay attention to the credentials.

Look For Experienced Remediators

You want people whove been removing mold (especially black mold) for a while, not new people who arent sure about the job. Youll also want to see if there is some kind of guarantee offered and there should be. You dont want to find out that the people didnt do their jobs properly and the mold has come back, only to be told that there is nothing that can be done until you pay more money.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) January 31, 2014

A mold problem was plaguing Virginia's Main Street Library. And in response to it, AGC Environmental, a Florida mold inspection company, gave out an advise how to maintain a safe indoor air quality.

According to a report from dailypress.com, which was published on January 30, 2014, the problem was discovered in November and the management is now working on getting it fixed. It detailed that it particularly affected the non-fiction and reference books of the library located at the 2nd floor of the building.

Newport News Library Director Izabela Cieszynski said in the report that they are not sure about the source of the mold but it could be the automatic doors, which allowed the entry of high humidity. Despite the closure of the contaminated area though, she said that the public could still checkout specific books.

Below is an excerpt from the said report.

"Moisture is the enemy of librarians in humid climes and Newport News is no exception."

"The latest victims are non-fiction and reference collections housed on the second floor of the Main Street Library, where mold was found growing on the books."

"Volunteers are helping clean the books of mold, and "we're in the process of getting a vendor to come in and clean that collection," said Newport News Library Director Izabela Cieszynski."

AGC Environmental said that mold greatly affects a place's indoor air quality. Wherever it grows, it stated that its spores could go airborne and threaten the health of the people.

Because of that, the company stressed that mold remediation is essential in keeping a safe indoor environment. Nonetheless, before it is implemented, it said that the fungus' presence must first be confirmed. And to do that, it asserted that an air test and mold inspection are needed.

Columbia, MO (PRWEB) January 30, 2014

Mold has reportedly damaged about 600,000 books of the University of Missouri Libraries. In response to it, My Cleaning Products recommended two mold removal sprays to assist the public in preventing a mold problem of the same extent.

Based on a report from kansascity.com posted on January 29, 2014, the books were stored in an off-campus facility in north Columbia. And as it detailed, the problem about the fungus inhabiting them was discovered in October.

However, Jim Cogswell, the Libraries Director, said in the report that probably only less than half of the damaged volumes will be restored. The reason it determined was the high cost of the mold cleanup.

As the report detailed, the removal of mold from each book could cost around $3. It stated that if it is done to all the affected materials, the treatment could cost up to $1.8 million. But even though it was already said that just a small percentage of books would be saved, it added that the officials were still deciding what to do with the rest.

Below is an excerpt from the post Mold Damages 600,000 Books by My Cleaning Products.

An off-campus storage facility of the University of Missouri Libraries was hit by mold. And based on a report, the damage the fungus brought was no joke.

Discovered in October, the mold problem in the said underground storage in north Columbia affected some 600,000 books. Good thing though that it did not endanger the public's health as stated by a safety officer last week.

According to MCP, mold is preventable. It said that books, clothes, bags, furniture and other things could be saved from its damages in a lot of ways.

However, it cited that circumstances as flood and unknown leaks could promote the fungus' growth without hindrances. Because of that, it advised the public to be always ready to kill mold. It said that detecting and clearing it early is the best anyone could do when caught in such situations.
