Our Mold Remediation Process

Mold remediation is a complex and meticulous process that requires professional expertise. At Rapid Restoration of Portland, we follow a thorough remediation process to ensure mold is properly addressed and removed. If not done correctly, mold spores can spread, making the situation worse.


Our mold remediation process includes:


  1. Mold Testing & Mold Inspection :  We begin with a detailed inspection to identify visible mold and determine the moisture sources fueling its growth. Mold testing helps assess the type and extent of mold present, which is essential for developing an effective plan.
  2. Containment:  We isolate the affected area to prevent mold spores from spreading throughout the property. This involves sealing off the area with plastic sheeting and using negative air pressure if necessary.
  3. Air Filtration:  HEPA filters and air scrubbers are used to purify the air of mold spores and other particulates, improving air quality during remediation.
  4. Mold Removal : Various methods are used to remove mold from different surfaces. Non-porous materials may be cleaned, while porous materials like drywall or carpet may need to be discarded and replaced.
  5. Restoration and Prevention:  After mold removal, we address the underlying moisture issue, repair water damage, and improve ventilation to prevent mold recurrence. Final inspections and air quality testing ensure the area is safe and healthy.


Who Pays for Mold Remediation?

Mold remediation is often covered by homeowners insurance if the cause of the mold was a sudden and accidental event, such as burst pipes, water heater leaks , or flooding. However, if mold results from neglect, such as failure to maintain your property, you may be responsible for the cost.

Mold Remediation Cost

The cost of mold remediation varies based on factors such as the severity of the mold infestation, the type of mold, and the materials involved. On average, the cost ranges from $2.50 to $20 per square foot in Portland.


Several factors influence the cost of mold remediation:


  • Extent of Mold Infestation:  Larger, more widespread mold infestations typically cost more to remediate.
  • Type of Mold: Some mold species, like black mold, may require specialized equipment and techniques, increasing costs.
  • Location of Mold: Mold in difficult-to-reach areas, such as crawl spaces or attics, may require additional labor and equipment.
  • Source of Moisture:  Repairing water sources, like plumbing leaks, adds to the overall cost.
  • Material Contamination: Removing and replacing mold-damaged materials, such as drywall or insulation, can raise the cost.


What Type of Mold Do We Work With?

At Rapid Restoration of Portland, we specialize in all types of mold. No matter the mold species, location, or severity, our team is ready to remove it and restore your property to a safe, healthy environment.

  • Aspergillus:  Common in damp or water-damaged areas, some Aspergillus species can produce mycotoxins that are harmful to health.

  • Mold Remediation vs Mold Removal

    Mold removal is a part of the mold remediation process. It focuses on removing the mold and affected materials from your property. Mold remediation, however, is a broader process that includes mold removal, addressing the underlying moisture issue, and preventing future mold growth.


  • When is Mold Remediation Required?

    Mold remediation is necessary when there is visible mold spreading throughout the property or when there is a moisture source fueling the mold growth. Remediation ensures the mold is completely removed and future growth is prevented.


  • How Long Does Mold Remediation Take?

    Mold remediation typically takes one to five days. However, for larger or more complex infestations, the process could take several weeks to ensure complete removal and restoration of your property.
