Remediation Cost$3,000.00
Testing Cost$600.00
Containment Cost$2,300.00
How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the affected area (sqft) from the mold inspection or hygienist report.
  2. Select mold location (surface, cavity, attic, crawl space) to apply appropriate complexity factors.
  3. Set remediation ($), testing ($), and containment ($) cost rates.
  4. Review total mold remediation cost with line items for remediation, testing, and containment.
  5. Clearance testing is required after remediation -- budget for post-remediation verification sampling.

How the result changes with Affected Area (sqft)

Affected Area (sqft)Total Estimated Cost
1,001$19,518.00
3,501$62,018.00
6,500$113,000.00
9,000$155,500.00

What each input means

Affected Area (sqft)
Square footage of mold-affected surfaces
Mold Location
1 = Surface mold only, 2 = Structural (inside walls/framing), 3 = HVAC system
Containment Level
1 = Small/basic, 2 = Medium/full containment, 3 = Large/full HEPA containment

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    Affected Area (sqft) = 200, Mold Location = 1, Containment Level = 2 = 3 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Remediation Cost
    Remediation Cost
    3000 = $3,000
  3. Calculate Testing Cost
    Testing Cost
    600 = $600
