Homeowners can effectively and affordably remediate mold with assistance from family, friends, or volunteer groups.

Prior to mold removal, ensure your home is safe by checking for structural damage and addressing any external hazards.

During the remediation process, wear personal protective equipment, inspect and repair any water entry points, and isolate the work area to prevent the spread of mold spores.

Scrub affected surfaces with a wire brush, apply fungicide, wipe down, and vacuum with a HEPA filter-equipped vacuum to remove mold and debris.

The remediation is complete when wood framing is dry, and there are no visible signs of mold or mold odors. A professional inspection may be required for certification.
