Mold repair cost in townhouse
Hello BP,
Having never dealt with mold in a property I'm not sure how the mold remediation process works or the cost associated with such. I am looking for some advice.
I have my eye on a property that's in my area that has been on the market for just shy of a year now. I just went on a walk through of the property and there is clearly mold in the property. I took as many pictures as I could to show the extent of the mold damage and have them attached. I'm not sure what the background is on the house but I was hoping to get some advice from the BP community on what you think will be involved with repairing this house and removing the mold.
1. What should I budget for a repair of this level?
2. What steps are involved in getting the mold removed? Should I have an inspector come out to quote?
3. Would it be worth trying to tackle myself?
4. Is there a way to determine if mold is in the duct work?
5. Can I remove the mold portions, wipe the remaining with bleach and seal with Kilz Sealer; then wait a few days and get the air tested before patching the drywall back up?
Happy Holidays,
Austin
