Mold removal and mold remediation are similar but have different objectives.

Mold removal is the process of physically removing mold from a surface or area. It typically involves the use of chemicals or other agents to kill the mold and then physically removing it with a brush or other tool. The goal of mold removal is to remove visible mold growth.

Mold remediation, on the other hand, is a broader process that involves not only removing visible mold but also addressing the underlying factors that led to the mold growth in the first place. This includes identifying and eliminating sources of moisture, repairing any water damage, and taking steps to prevent future mold growth. The goal of mold remediation is to eliminate the mold problem and make the affected area safe to occupy.

It's important to note that while mold removal is a necessary step in the process of mold remediation, it's not enough to solve the problem on its own. It's necessary to address the underlying causes and make sure that conditions are not conducive to mold growth in the future.
