Is $1,800 to remediate mold in basement a fair price?
Project Details
I just received a mold remediation quote for my basement and am questioning its necessity, as I thought the cost would be much higher. The main issue identified was white mold on the ceiling's wood trim, which I hadn't realized was mold. I'm considering if I can clean this myself and rely on my dehumidifier, especially since a significant portion of the quote seems to be for air filtration. I'm hesitant because I would need to remove my entire video game collection from the basement, which would be a major undertaking. I run a dehumidifier in the basement. We have a young child with alopecia, and while we don't believe mold is the cause, we wanted to be sure; no mold was found on upper floors. My basement has a persistent moisture issue, particularly in an unfinished concrete room, which would be costly to waterproof. Given this, I'm leaning towards a DIY approach to cleaning the mold and managing moisture with the dehumidifier.
