Vermont's Department of Health says mold needs moisture to grow, and that you may be able to clean up a moldy area under 10 square feet yourself. It also says wet materials should be cleaned and dried within 48 hours after flooding, and indoor relative humidity kept between 40 and 60%.
Vermont's Department of Health says testing for mold after a flood is not necessary or recommended. Whatever kind or amount of mold is present, the steps are the same: remove moldy items, dry out the space, and fix the source of water intrusion.
