Mold Removal and Inspections in Atlanta, Georgia


Our approach to mold removal.

This might surprise you but we believe that, in most cases, mold testing is a waste of money. Also, we believe that you can fix many mold problems without a professional and we will tell you upfront when this is the case.


If you do need a professional, you can have peace of mind knowing that we have completed thousands of jobs with our core team, made up of highly experienced professionals whose average tenure is ten years.

Mold Remediation

We provide honest mold removal without all the hype, overblown prices and scare tactics. Most information on mold  is dead wrong. Mold problems are common but can be fixed safely, quickly, and at a reasonable cost—sometimes without a professional.


When a professional is needed, we provide Free Quotes and can usually be at your home or business within 1-2 business days.


Our Remediation Process:

  1. Containment of Mold Area

  2. HEPA Air Scrubbing

  3. Selective Demolition of Affected Area

  4. HEPA Vacuum

  5. Antimicrobial Cleaning

  6. Final HEPA Vacuuming & Cleanup of Work Area


Mold Inspections & Testing


If you are unsure if you have a mold problem in your home, we can perform a mold test and inspection to determine if you indeed have a mold problem. Please note though that most of the time a mold test is unnecessary and a waste of money if you already see mold.



Black Mold Removal

So what are the real health effects of black mold? All molds, be it black, green, yellow, etc can cause an allergic reaction in some people.


Just because it’s black does not mean it can potentially impact your health any more or less than any other color of mold. The color of the mold is irrelevant because the proper way to remove mold is the exact same regardless of the color or species.

More About Moldman Services

  • How much does Moldman charge as a franchise fee to join?
    Moldman charges ZERO DOLLARS as a franchise fee! Yes, you read that right. ZERO DOLLARS. Based on our own research, most of our competitors charge a minimum of $25,000 and even $50,000+. Many people have told us we are crazy to do this. Are we crazy? Maybe. But maybe we’re on to something!
  • What are the startup costs to open a Moldman franchise?
    The low end of the range of projected startup costs to open a Moldman franchise is around $10,000. It’s possible to make back that money on just a few jobs! This is really LOW compared to our competitors. How do we do it? First of all, we do not charge a franchise fee. Second of all, we keep startup costs at a minimum in many ways such as by encouraging our franchisees to buy their equipment as cheaply as possible (you can even buy it used), to work from home initially (to avoid paying for a lease) and to not hire any full time employees at first to save on overhead. The low end of the range of our projected startup costs
  • What is your royalty fee?
    Our royalty fee is a straight 10%. Easy to communicate and easy to calculate.
  • Do I need experience?
    No! While relevant experience in mold, water damage, or the building/construction trades certainly helps, it’s not a requirement. We can teach you everything you need to know.
  • What am I getting when I join Moldman as a franchisee?
    Moldman franchisees get a proven system that works! Here are some of the many benefits you will get as a Moldman franchisee: Training on how to do safe and profitable mold inspections and mold removal jobs Coaching on how to run a profitable business Support along the way Customer leads generated by our website and SEO (Search Engine Optimization) A suite of software tools to help you run your business easily and efficiently Brand awareness with our catchy name and hero character
  • Can I work from home?
    Yes! We encourage you to work from home as long as possible to keep your costs low and your profit high. Eventually your business may grow big enough to need an office/warehouse space - a big step for your business!
  • Do I need to hire and manage expensive employees?
    No! Your Moldman franchise can start out with just yourself and maybe a part-time helper or two. Eventually you’ll probably need to hire some full time employees, but until then we encourage you to start small and remain lean as long as possible.
  • What are you looking for in a potential Moldman franchise owner?
    We think the biggest indicator of success is hunger. Hunger to succeed. Hunger to change your life. Hunger to make money. Simply joining Moldman isn’t enough to succeed. We will provide you with the training and a pipeline of leads. But you’ve got to convert those leads into jobs and do good quality work to keep your business rolling. You’ve also got to network in your community so that people know about you. It’s not hard, but it requires hunger and drive.
  • If I already own and operate a mold or water damage business, can I convert to a Moldman franchise to take advantage of all that Moldman has to offer?
    Yes! Converting your business to a Moldman franchise might make a ton of sense for you, especially if you like the idea of leaving online lead generation to the experts (us) so you can focus on doing good quality work and keeping your customers happy. You’ll also get a reduced royalty rate for the first 3 years. Contact us for further details.
  • How much money can I make?
    Ah, yes, probably the most important question. Well, franchising rules prohibit us from making any explicit promises. But rest assured, we will provide you with the tools, training, support and knowledge so that you can take advantage of the opportunities in a growing industry where our services are always needed. But don’t forget, there are MANY other benefits to business ownership beyond money - the biggest one being freedom and work-life balance. If you need to go see your kid’s soccer game at 4:00 on a Thursday, you don’t need to ask for anyone’s permission. You have the freedom because you are your own boss now. Priceless!

What is your process for mold removal?

Professional mold removal is a careful, step-by-step process involving the use of specialized equipment and cleaning agents.  There are many details involved in doing this process correctly. But the overall process can be broken down into some general steps, as follows:


1. Containment. Contain the work area to prevent cross-contamination of mold spores to non-affected areas of the building.


2. HEPA Air Scrubbing. Clean the air using commercial-grade and industrial-strength air scrubbing machines. These machines use what are known as HEPA filters, which are designed to capture 99.97% of all airborne and microscopic mold spores which pass through the filters.  This process helps to improve air quality in the room(s) where the air scrubbers are placed and prevent mold spores from circulating to other rooms.


3. Selective Demo. Carefully remove the negatively impacted building materials. Focus is on controlled demo and removal in order to prevent kicking and stirring up additional mold spores as much as possible.


4. HEPA Vacuum. Vacuum the contaminated area using what are known as HEPA filters, which are designed to capture 99.97% of all airborne and microscopic mold spores which pass through the filters.


5. Antimicrobial Cleaning. Clean the contaminated area with hospital-grade antimicrobial cleaning agents to kill mold growth.


6. Final HEPA Vacuuming & Clean-Up of Work Area. The final step involves HEPA vacuuming and performing an antimicrobial wipe-down on surfaces where mold spores may have settled within the work area.  Once the job has been double-checked for quality, containment is taken down and the customer has been informed of a successful remediation.


What is black mold?

Black mold is the common name for a certain type of mold called “Stachybotrys,” which is thought to be particularly harmful to a person’s health.


Many of us have heard of the dangers of “toxic black mold” and may worry about black mold poisoning, but the truth is that black mold is a much more manageable problem than you might expect. When you understand what you’re dealing with, you can make informed choices to keep yourself and your loved ones healthy. We’re here to cut through the mess and help you understand what having black mold in your home may mean, and give you some tips on how to fix the problem yourself and save big money in the process.


Is black mold dangerous?

It can be, but the majority of black mold situations we see are nothing to panic about. The truth is, many people aren’t negatively affected by mold. However, mold can cause allergies in some people who are sensitive to mold. In these cases, it can make their lives miserable. Mold can also cause severe medical issues with a small percentage of people who have other health complications. Many of us have heard of the dangers of “toxic black mold” and may worry about black mold poisoning, but the truth is that black mold is a much more manageable problem than you might expect. If you’ve seen a concerning growth in your home or been told that you have a black mold issue, you probably have a lot of questions.


What is included in your Mold Inspection with Testing service?


A full assessment of the home. We are looking for not only mold but also water damage because mold requires water or moisture to grow.  We use specialized equipment like moisture meters and/or infrared cameras to check for water damage in hidden places like behind walls.


We also include 2 indoor samples in our Standard Mold Inspection. Indoor samples may be air samples, surface samples, or a combination of both.


Samples are FedExed overnight to a 3rd party lab. The Lab take 1-2 business days to process the samples once they receive them.


We email you a copy of the lab results and a written inspection report 2-3 business days after your Inspection appointment. In our written report, we document what we found during the inspection and we explain the lab results in plain English so you can understand what they mean.


If our Inspection and lab results determine that there is a mold issue, we can also fix the mold problem. In these cases, your written report will also include a Free Quote to fix the problem. If you hire Moldman to fix the mold issue, we will deduct the cost of the inspection from the Quote price.


Note to customers: We use the terms “Mold Inspection” and “Mold Testing” interchangeably and they mean the same thing here.


Do I need a professional for my mold problem?

In short, usually not! Because, remember the saying: “no mold, no matter what color, belongs in a healthy home.” And that is good news because a professional mold inspection with testing can run anywhere from $300-$750. In most cases where mold is clearly visible, knowing exactly what type of mold you have is unnecessary. We advise most of our clients to forgo the inspection process and just apply that money saved to the cost of fixing the problem. The EPA agrees that mold testing isn’t necessary in most cases.


There are exceptions, however, such as when a mold inspection with testing is required as part of a real estate sale or if you require “proof” that a mold problem is present, such as for a legal dispute. If you think you may have a mold problem, but aren’t sure, then we recommend formal testing from a professional. And if you require clearance testing to verify an “all clear” after a mold problem is fixed, then professional mold testing is necessary.


How did I get mold?

Like any other living thing, mold needs food and water to thrive. Mold problems start when a mold spore (tiny, invisible “mold seed”) that’s floating in the air lands on a wet piece of organic material (such as wet wood or drywall), takes root and starts to multiply. Mold spores are everywhere in the air, including in the cleanest of homes.


How much does a mold inspection cost?

In situations, however, where a mold inspection is actually needed (e.g. you suspect there is mold but cannot see any obvious problem or you need written proof of a mold problem), each location is different, but will typically range between $300 to $500 for a mold inspection for 2 indoor samples and 1 outdoor control sample, with each additional sample costing $25-$50. Most of the time though extra samples are not needed, and when they are it is rare that you need more than 1-2 extra.


How much does mold remediation cost?

In our industry, you can sometimes get a very wide range of quotes. This can happen for any number of reasons - for example,  someone is not a mold professional and does not have the proper mold insurance (which is an expensive specialty insurance that is harder to obtain and must be added to a general liability policy). In other cases, some companies are used to charging insurance rates but in many cases mold might not be covered by your insurance policy.


But as far as what Moldman charges, we are typically in the middle of the pack when compared to other mold companies with the proper insurance and similar level of expertise and experience (we’ve been doing this since 2006). 


Our prices are almost always in the middle of the pack for the industry and local market (not the lowest nor the highest). But we always provide a no-obligation quote, free of charge if you've got an obvious, visible mold problem.


What does Moldman use to kill mold?

Moldman uses cleaning agents that are specifically made for professional mold remediation.  "Green" cleaning agents are also available, upon request.


Can mold come back after remediation?

Mold can (and likely will) come back after remediation if the underlying water/moisture source isn’t also fixed.  We will try and identify the cause of the underlying moisture issue, and in many cases we can fix this problem as well.  To ensure 100% customer satisfaction, each of our mold removal jobs is guaranteed by a 10-year transferable warranty.
