In Reno and the Tahoe basin, mold usually starts with cold-weather water: a pipe that froze and burst, snowmelt that got under a foundation, or a leak in a vacation home no one checked for weeks.

What does it cost in Reno?
Nationally, mold remediation commonly runs from a few hundred dollars for a small contained area to several thousand for widespread growth — driven by the size and location of the growth and the moisture source that has to be fixed. Local factors in Reno — labor rates, the severity of the specific loss, and how accessible the damage is — affect the final number, so we don't publish a fixed local price.
