Material costs for a mold removal project can vary extensively from one project to another. In most cases, the mold has already eaten away the woods, sheet rocks, and floor boards, or mold may be seen present only in small areas of the wall, ceiling or carpet. Material costs differ starting from less than a hundred on the low up to to tens-of-thousands of dollars for mold removal in a flooded basement. Homeowners who are more likely to attempt taking the project on themselves should probably need to rent or purchase a wet vacuum that can pull dampness from carpet and wood. Usually, equipment like that can be rented for around $30 per day or can be purchased in between $80 and $200. However, for very minimal mold removal in Akron projects, only water and detergent can do the trick.
