What to Expect During Mold Remediation — Day by Day

Typical job at a glance

  • Small, contained jobs: often 1–3 days of remediation work.
  • Larger jobs: a week or more, plus drying and rebuild.
  • Most of the house can usually stay in use — the work area is sealed off.
  • Nothing gets rebuilt until clearance passes.

Step by step

1. Inspection

Moisture meters and thermal imaging find the extent of the problem and the water source. Vault’s inspections start at $99; the $349 tier adds air sampling analyzed by Sporecyte.

2. Written estimate

A free written remediation estimate after the initial assessment. Remediation jobs start at $500.

3. Containment

Sealed plastic barriers, a zipper entry, and a HEPA negative air machine so spores stay in the work area.

4. Removal and cleaning

Moldy porous materials are bagged and removed; framing and hard surfaces are HEPA-vacuumed and cleaned.

5. Drying

Materials are dried to standard and the moisture source is fixed.

6. Clearance

Vault’s AMRT-certified crew performs post-remediation clearance; air samples go to Sporecyte, an outside lab. Your 90-day mold warranty starts here.

7. Rebuild

Insulation, drywall, and finishes go back under our general contractor license.

What you’ll be asked to do

  • Clear the work area of personal items where possible
  • Keep kids and pets out of the contained area
  • Avoid opening the containment
  • Ask about staying home during the work — see can I stay during restoration?
