Mold remediation is required when mold growth exceeds 10 square feet, as recommended by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Visible mold on walls, ceilings, or floors, persistent musty odors, and health symptoms like allergies or respiratory issues are key indicators that remediation is necessary. Mold caused by water damage, flooding, or excessive humidity also warrants professional intervention, especially if it spreads to hidden areas like HVAC systems, behind walls, or under flooring. Prompt action is crucial to prevent further structural damage and health risks
