How Much Does It Cost to Get Mold Removed?

How much does it cost to get mold removed? In Los Angeles, the reported typical range for mold remediation is $1,590 to $3,850, with an average of about $2,573, according to Angi's Los Angeles cost article (updated October 9, 2025). That is the short answer. The longer answer is that the cost depends on where the mold is, how much there is, and what has to come out, and the only figure that counts for your job is the quote our team gives after an inspection.

We publish no prices of our own. Every figure in this post is a reported range published by a named source, labelled as such. If you want the number for your home, request a free estimate or call (945) 422-7665.

The Short Answer, With the Numbers Behind It

Angi reports an average of about $2,573 and a typical range of $1,590 to $3,850 for Los Angeles. SERVPRO's published national guide reports a typical range of $1,223 to $3,753 and a national average of $2,368, and notes that Los Angeles pricing runs higher. Onsite Pro lists remediation from $1,750, and FastFix lists remediation from $3,500.

Those figures describe remediation, the full job. Removal alone, taking the mold out without containment, drying, and verification, costs less, but it is a smaller job with a smaller result, and it usually means the mold returns. Our removal vs remediation guide explains the difference.

Cost by Room: Where the Mold Is

Location is the biggest cost driver. Angi's published Los Angeles ranges are: bathroom, $544 to $1,088; crawl space, $544 to $2,176; basement, $544 to $3,264; attic, $1,088 to $4,352; wall, $1,088 to $21,760; HVAC and ductwork, $3,264 to $10,880; whole house, $10,880 to $32,640. Fun Guy Inspections reports $2,500 to $6,500 for crawlspace and attic work, and $1,500 to $4,000 for HVAC and ductwork.

The wall range is the widest because a wall job can be one patch or a whole house of opened walls. The bathroom range is the narrowest because a bathroom job is usually small, surface growth in a contained room. Our service pages for bathrooms, attics, walls, and HVAC systems explain what each job involves.

Cost by Size: Small, Moderate, and Extensive

Fun Guy Inspections reports by job scope: small surface containment under 10 to 50 square feet, $1,200 to $2,500; moderate structural work, 50 to 200 square feet, $2,500 to $5,000; extensive or whole-house work, 200+ square feet, $5,000 to $12,000 and more. SERVPRO reports by area: 10 to 50 square feet, $100 to $1,250; 50 to 100, $500 to $2,500; 100 to 200, $1,000 to $5,000; 200 to 400, $2,000 to $10,000.

Per square foot, Angi reports $11 to $27 for Los Angeles. A 100-square-foot area at that rate would fall in a reported range of $1,100 to $2,700 for the remediation itself, before rebuilding.

What Else Adds to the Bill

Inspection and testing are usually billed separately from remediation: Angi reports $326 to $1,170 for inspection and testing, Clear Home Mold Testing reports inspections at $295 to $595, and Onsite Pro reports testing at $499. Rebuilding is separate too, and it is often the larger cost: drywall, flooring, and paint after the mold is gone.

Permits may apply where structural work or major rebuilding is involved. And if the moisture source needs a trade, a roofer for a roof leak, a plumber for a pipe, an HVAC contractor for a drain, that work is separate from the remediation quote and should be listed separately.

The Quote That Counts

Published ranges help you understand the market, but they cannot price your home. The inspection is what produces the number: our inspector visits, maps the moisture, identifies the source, and writes a scope of work with a quote. Request a free estimate and we will arrange it. Our cost guide has the full methodology, including the note that most published figures trace to a small number of shared datasets.
