Why 'removal' can be misleading
EPA explains that it is impossible to eliminate every mold spore from an indoor environment. The practical goal is to control moisture and clean up problematic mold growth.
What remediation adds
A remediation plan considers the source of moisture, the scope of affected materials, the cleanup or removal method, drying and conditions after the work.
What matters to the homeowner
Instead of focusing on terminology, ask whether the plan addresses both the affected material and the condition that caused it to become wet or damp.
