You’ve discovered mold and you’re ready to fix it — but how long will it take?

📞 Call (401) 313-3506 for a same-day mold inspection anywhere in RI.
Factors That Affect Mold Remediation Time
Every mold job is different, but the timeline depends on: – Size of the affected area – Amount of mold growth – Type of surfaces (porous vs. non-porous) – Whether demolition is needed – Access to the space (attic, crawlspace, etc.) – Moisture source repair
Typical Mold Remediation Timeline
Day 1: Inspection & Testing
- Visual inspection and moisture mapping
- Air sampling or surface swab (if needed)
- Estimate provided for remediation
Day 2–3: Setup & Containment
- Seal off affected areas
- Negative air machines and HEPA filters installed
- Protective equipment and safety gear used
Days 3–5: Mold Removal
- Contaminated materials removed (drywall, insulation, etc.)
- HEPA vacuuming and antimicrobial treatment
- Cleaning of surfaces, ductwork (if needed), and contents
Days 5–7: Final Clearance Testing (optional)
- Post-remediation testing to confirm safe air quality
- Repairs or reconstruction begin if needed
Total Time: 3 to 7 Days (Most Jobs)
Small mold issues can be resolved in 1–2 days, while larger jobs may take up to a full week.
If reconstruction is needed afterward (drywall, paint, flooring), allow additional time based on contractor availability.
What If Mold Is in a Crawlspace or Attic?
These jobs may take longer due to: – Limited access or ventilation – Extra steps to control humidity – Need for encapsulation or vapor barrier installation
