How this calculator works

Mold companies price removal by the square foot of moldy area. We multiply your area by $10 to $30 per square foot. Testing, air ducts and new drywall add the amounts shown in the sources below. We round to the nearest $50.

Your real price depends on your city, the type of mold and how hard it is to reach. Get written quotes from at least three companies. If the mold came from a leak or flood, see the water damage cost calculator, or find restoration companies in your city.

HomeGuide notes the EPA and CDC suggest doing it yourself only for areas smaller than 10 square feet. Wear gloves and a mask and keep the area aired out. Larger areas need a professional.

Usually not, says HomeGuide, unless the mold came from a covered event like a burst pipe or a disaster. Some insurers only cover it with flood insurance. Check your own policy.
