While a plumber may be able to address the source of a mold problem, such as a leak or a damp area, they are not typically trained or equipped to remove mold. Removing mold from a home typically requires the services of a professional mold remediation company.
Mold remediation companies are trained to safely and effectively remove mold from a home. They will conduct an assessment of the affected areas, develop a plan for removal, and then use specialized equipment and techniques to remove the mold. They also take steps to prevent the mold from returning in the future.
If a plumber finds mold in the course of their work, they may recommend that you call in a mold remediation company to address the problem. They may also advise you to stop using the affected area until the mold is removed.
It’s worth mentioning that some plumbers may have some knowledge of mold and may be able to address small issues and give you some advice, but for a large mold issue, it’s important to call a professional mold remediation company.
