Keep Your Health A Priority With A Thorough Mold Removal Service For Your Home
I know a lot of mold removal companies take their clients for a ride. Mold is a terrible issue, but it’s not always a $30k job.
And while sometimes you can do it yourself, there’s some heavy lifting involved. Full face respirators, full body Tyvek suits, double gloves, boots, a paint sprayer for serum application, positive pressure ventilation, and some other things are mandatory.
Our mold inspector will determine the type of mold you’re dealing with and give a fair, no-obligation estimate.
But remember, if you don’t want the mold to come back, a professional remediation is your best bet.
What our mold remediation includes:
- Prepping the area
- Proper ventilation
- Full PPE clothing
- Basement waterproofing
- Mold tests and inspections
- Drywall installation
- Encapsulation of the area
- Dehumidifying the area
- Moisture detection
What Mold Remediation Looks Like
Must Knows About Mold Remediation
You can try. There are some chemicals accessible to consumer use, like a 7% peroxide, vinegar, and some other stuff. If you try, you’ll have to wear full on PPE clothing (mask with the right filter, Tyvek suit, gloves, boots, etc.)
But before you try, you need to understand in most cases, mold needs to be professionally removed by a mold specialist. Especially if you don’t want to deal with it again in a few months. The symptoms associated with mold exposure are miserable.
Sure, you’ll pay some money, but it’ll save you from a lot of hassle and risks.
Ballparking the cost of mold remediation is difficult, especially if we don’t know what we’re dealing with.
- Very small jobs, like minor waterloss and a bit of mold easily accessible will be around $500 – $1000.
- Small jobs, like a possible bathroom gut to reach the mold, or spaces that are harder to access will cost between $1000 – $5,000.
- Medium jobs (the most common) would be between $5,000 – to $30,000. These would be mold in the crawlspace, basements, or other rooms where there will be additional work required.
- There are larger jobs that start from $30,000 and can go all the way up to $60,000. This would be large attics with water infiltrations, basements that are not waterproofed, etc. These jobs involve a lot more work beside mold remediation (e.g. waterproofing, insulating, etc.)
These prices will vary heavily depending on the location and scope of work. Take all of this with a grain of salt.
This depends on how well you can maintain your space dry. Mold is everywhere, but it develops at different paces, depending on the humidity in your home. Typically, if the humidity is above 60%, you can expect mold to start growing and spreading.
To make sure you’re not dealing with mold after remediation, ventilate your home properly and make sure your basement and crawlspace are waterproofed.
Unless the mold issue is really bad, we can enclose the area we’ll work so you can still sleep at home. There are cases where we recommend our clients to not be in or around the house at the time of the job, but that’s not always necessary.
After our mold inspection, we’ll tell you exactly how bad the mold situation is and if you’ll have to leave the house empty for a few days.
This depends on how bad the mold situation is. Removing mold permanently from a space takes between 1 to 3 days. It also depends on the space and how accessible it is. For example, attic mold removal and basement mold removal will usually take more time, because the humidity in these places is often higher, so mold spreads much faster.
There are different types of mold and all of them are harmful to your health. When exposed for longer periods of time, mold can cause asthma, fungal sinusitis, allergies, and more.
Out of all, it is said that the most harmful type of mold is Stachybotrys, or ‘black mold’, Chaetomium (most commonly found in homes with water damage), Aspergillus (present in the air, everywhere we go), Penicillium (in everyday environments; it can cause asthmatic symptoms, bronchitis, and other respiratory problems).

Robin Murphy
I wish I had known about Capstone and had gotten their services years ago. We’ve been dealing with water issues in our cemented crawl space for years now. My neighbor recommended them and I am very glad I went with them.
The fee for their service was reasonable, they were on time and actually finished a day earlier than expected. Joe seems knowledgeable and is friendly and professional. They did a great job and we haven’t had any issue with water seeping in since. The crawlspace looks terrific and stays dry.

I worked with Capstone Property Services on my first home purchase. If anyone has ever purchased a fixer-upper, you understand what a stressful and anxious time that can be.
Capstone was always responsive, and left me with a beautiful home to enjoy for years to come! I heartily endorse and recommend them.
