The answer is not necessarily. Essentially it depends on the type(s) of mold, the aggregate amount of colonization and size of the area. If you have less then 10 square feet of molds that are a type 1 allergen, generally these can be cleaned by the average homeowner using a detergent solution.
In order to determine what type of mold you have, it is recommended to first have the proper sampling and laboratory testing performed by a qualified company. |
