Mold Removal vs Mold Remediation

You might have encountered the terms "mold removal" and " mold remediation " and wondered about the differences. Well, let's clear that up. Mold removal is a part of the comprehensive service known as mold remediation. When we refer to mold removal, we're talking about the physical removal of mold from contaminated materials. On the other hand, mold remediation is an all-encompassing approach. We start with an inspection and mold testing, then proceed to mold removal to clear out the visible infestation. But we don't stop there. The remediation process includes dehumidification to reduce moisture levels, and most importantly, we get to the heart of the matter by addressing and fixing the source of the mold. This ensures the mold doesn't just make an unwelcome comeback. So, when you opt for mold remediation, you're choosing a thorough, long-term solution.

Black Mold Removal

When dealing with something as serious as black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum), we at North Eastern Restoration understand there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach. This nasty intruder can pose significant health risks if not properly addressed. Our team of skilled and experienced technicians takes black mold very seriously and follows a comprehensive process to ensure your property is safe and healthy once more.


  • Mold Inspection: We kick off the process by conducting a thorough inspection to identify the type of mold, the affected materials, and the extent of the infestation. This enables us to tailor a robust plan of action.
  • Isolation and Containment: Next, we isolate the affected area and seal it off with plastic sheeting. This step is crucial in preventing mold spores from spreading to other parts of your property.
  • Mold Removal: Once the area is secure, we physically remove the visible mold from surfaces.
  • Cleaning and Disinfection: After the removal, we conduct a detailed cleaning and disinfection of the area to kill any remaining mold spores and hinder regrowth. We then allow the area to completely dry, using fans and dehumidifiers to expedite the drying process.
  • Inspection and Post-Removal Assessment: Once everything is dry, we conduct another inspection to ensure all visible mold has been successfully eliminated. We carefully remove the containment materials and dispose of all contaminated materials, including cleaning supplies, in sealed plastic bags.
  • Monitoring and Prevention: After all remediation efforts are complete, we continue to monitor the area for any signs of mold regrowth over the following weeks. At the same time, we address any ongoing moisture issues to prevent the mold from making an unwelcome return.

Black mold is often a sign that something is amiss in your property. If the extent of the mold infestation is significant, we'll typically perform our comprehensive mold remediation process to address and fix the underlying cause. Trust us, we're not just about removing the mold. We're about giving you back a safe, mold-free home.

Mold Removal Cost

The  cost of mold removal  varies greatly and can range from as low as $2.50 per square foot to as high as $20 per square foot. Factors like the size of the affected area, the type of mold present, the severity of contamination, and the location of the mold play a big role in determining the cost. But don't let this worry you. At North Eastern Restoration, we understand how stressful dealing with mold can be. That's why we are committed to working directly with your insurance company. We'll provide them with all the necessary readings and documentation needed to maximize your claim coverage.

  • How to get rid of mold?

    Getting rid of mold can be a daunting task. If not done correctly, you may inadvertently cause mold spores to become airborne and spread throughout your property, leading to new mold colonies in previously unaffected areas. That's why we always recommend calling us at North Eastern Restoration for a professional mold inspection. We'll devise a solid game plan to eliminate the mold problem for good. However, if you're tackling small patches of mold, here are some steps you can take:


    • Safety First: Always prioritize your safety by wearing appropriate protective gear. This includes an N95 respirator mask, gloves, goggles, and coveralls. 
    • Identify and Fix the Source of Moisture: Find out the root cause of the moisture problem—be it leaks or high humidity—and rectify it.
    • Isolate and Remove Mold: Isolate the affected area to prevent the spread of mold spores. After that, you can proceed to physically remove the visible mold and any contaminated materials.
    • Clean and Disinfect: Once the mold has been physically removed, thoroughly clean and disinfect the area using specialized mold cleaning agents, and let the area dry completely.
    • Prevent Future Growth: Take preventive measures such as addressing recurring moisture issues, improving ventilation, and maintaining a normal level of humidity in your property to ward off any future mold growth.
  • Does homeowners insurance cover mold removal?

    In most circumstances, homeowners insurance does cover mold removal, but it largely depends on what caused the mold infestation. For instance, if the mold was a result of a 'sudden and accidental' event that's covered in your policy—like a burst pipe or a water heater leak—you're typically covered. However, if the mold growth resulted from negligence, such as failing to repair a leaky pipe or maintain proper humidity levels in your home, then the cost of mold removal will likely fall on your shoulders. Always check your specific policy or consult your insurance representative to understand exactly what's covered. Remember, prevention is always the best course of action when it comes to mold!
