Finding mold in your home is stressful enough without the “guessing game” of how much it will cost to fix. In 2026, as building standards in Alberta become stricter and remediation technology advances, it’s more important than ever to understand what goes into a professional quote.

At Crack & Attic Doctor, we believe in transparency. Here is a realistic breakdown of mold remediation costs in Calgary for 2026.

The Average Cost of Mold Remediation in Calgary

While every home is unique, most professional mold remediation projects in Calgary currently fall within these ranges:

Project Scope	Square Footage	Estimated Cost (CAD)
Small-Scale (e.g., Bathroom corner, small drywall patch)	Under 10 sq. ft.	$500 – $1,500
Moderate (e.g., Partial attic, basement wall, multiple rooms)	10 – 100 sq. ft.	$1,500 – $6,000
Large-Scale (e.g., Entire attic or basement)	100 – 300+ sq. ft.	$6,000 – $15,000+
Whole-Home (Severe flooding or systemic growth)	1,000+ sq. ft.	$15,000 – $35,000+

5 Factors That Influence Your Quote 🏗️🔍

1. Location and Accessibility

Mold in an open basement is easier (and cheaper) to treat than mold in a cramped, low-clearance attic. If our technicians have to navigate tight spaces or remove heavy insulation to reach the mold, labor costs will increase.

2. The Type of Mold 🧬

Not all mold is created equal. Black Mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) requires significantly higher safety protocols, specialized containment, and advanced air filtration (HEPA) to prevent cross-contamination, which reflects in the final price.

3. Depth of Penetration

Non-Porous (Tile/Metal): Usually requires a simple professional cleaning.
Porous (Drywall/Insulation/Wood): Mold often “roots” into these materials. In 2026, the standard is often replacement rather than just cleaning to ensure 100% removal.

4. Testing & Lab Fees 🧪

A professional remediation process usually starts and ends with testing:

Initial Inspection: $300 – $600
Air Quality/Lab Samples: $150 – $300 per sample
Clearance Testing: This proves the mold is gone and is essential for home resale value.

5. Hidden Complications (Asbestos) ⚠️

In many older Calgary homes, mold is found alongside older insulation. If we suspect asbestos, we must stop and test. If asbestos is present, specialized abatement is required by Alberta law, which can add $2,000 – $5,000+ to a project.

How to Save Money on Mold Removal 💡📉

Catch it Early: A $500 bathroom fix today prevents a $10,000 attic overhaul next year.
Fix the Root Cause: If you don’t fix your attic ventilation or foundation cracks, the mold will come back, and you’ll pay twice.
Check Your Insurance: If the mold was caused by a “sudden and accidental” event (like a burst pipe), your homeowner’s insurance may cover the remediation.
