Mold remediation costs in Orlando vary significantly based on several factors. Here are
typical price ranges for residential projects in the Central Florida market:
Under 50 sq ft — single bathroom, closet, or small wall section*
$1,500 - $3,000
Usually involves limited containment, removal of small amounts of drywall or materials, antimicrobial treatment, and basic clearance testing.
50-200 sq ft — one room, section of attic, or crawl space*
$3,000 - $6,000
Requires full containment, HEPA filtration, removal of larger sections of building materials, antimicrobial treatment, and independent clearance testing.
200+ sq ft — multiple rooms, whole-home, or extensive HVAC contamination*
$6,000 - $15,000+
Involves extensive containment, multiple HEPA air scrubbers, significant material removal and disposal, HVAC decontamination, moisture source repair, and comprehensive clearance testing.
Any size
$2,000 - $5,000 (additional)
Cleaning and treating air handler, evaporator coil, drain pan, and ductwork throughout the home. Often needed in addition to room-level remediation.
Several factors determine your final cost:
✔ Size of the Affected Area — The single biggest cost factor. More square footage means more containment, more material removal, more labor, and more disposal fees.
✔ Location & Accessibility — Mold behind walls requires demolition and reconstruction. Mold in accessible areas like exposed basement walls costs less to remediate. Attic mold, crawl space mold, and behind-shower mold all have different access challenges.
✔ Type of Mold — All mold requires professional handling, but certain toxic species like Stachybotrys (black mold) require additional safety precautions, specialized PPE, and more rigorous clearance testing protocols.
✔ Extent of Structural Damage — If mold has damaged structural elements (floor joists, wall studs, roof sheathing), those materials must be replaced, adding reconstruction costs on top of remediation.
✔ HVAC Contamination — If mold has spread into your HVAC system, the entire air
distribution system must be cleaned and treated. This is common in Orlando due to year-round AC use.
✔ Moisture Source Repair — Fixing the leak, ventilation problem, or drainage issue that caused the mold is essential but adds cost. A simple plumbing repair might be a few hundred dollars; a roof repair could be several thousand.
✔ Testing & Clearance — Initial mold testing ($300-$500) and post-remediation clearance testing ($250-$400) by a Licensed Mold Assessor are additional costs, but they’re essential for insurance documentation and confirming the job was done right.
Most Florida homeowner insurance policies cover mold remediation when the mold resulted from a covered peril — such as a burst pipe, accidental appliance overflow, or certain storm damage. Mold from long-term neglect, deferred maintenance, or flooding without separate flood insurance is typically not covered.
Your policy may include a mold coverage cap, commonly ranging from $10,000 to $50,000.
Infinity Restoration works directly with your insurance company to:
We’ve worked with Florida insurance companies since 2008 and understand what documentation is needed for claim approval.
✔ Get a Licensed Assessment First — Always start with a mold assessment from a Florida Licensed Mold Assessor (not just a free estimate from a remediation company). The assessor’s protocol defines the scope of work, preventing companies from upselling unnecessary services.
✔ Verify Licensing — In Florida, your remediator must hold a mold remediation license. Ask
for their license number and verify it with the DBPR.
✔ Require Clearance Testing — Any legitimate remediation company should require
independent clearance testing by a third-party Licensed Mold Assessor. If a company says
clearance testing isn’t needed, that’s a red flag.
✔ Don’t Pay for “Mold Removal” Without Remediation — Companies offering cheap mold
removal without containment, HEPA filtration, antimicrobial treatment, or clearance
testing are doing you a disservice. The mold will return.
✔ Check Reviews — Look for companies with verified Google reviews from real Orlando
customers. Infinity Restoration has 40+ five-star reviews.
