There are 119 posts in the Archives on the subject of mold. Basically the costs can run from simple clean up (good household detergent and elbow grease) to professional services costing several hundred dollars. One very good product to seal the area and prevent mold from recurring is called KILZ, available at paint stores.
Mold Rehabs - Posted by Kevin TEXAS

Anyone have experience with rehabbing Mold houses? What are your costs to Rehab vs conventional Rehabs? How do you determine the home to be Mold free with out breaking the piggy bank? Do you find resistance from potential buyers of your rehabs? Do you have trouble with getting the homes insured after Rehab? Thanks!!!

We did a mold rehab. The house had a mold “expert” come through and estimate mold remediation at approx. $60,000-$75,000 for a 1440 sq/ft house. Included clean up of the mold, tearing out carpets, and a new roof. We bought the house when seller drastically dropped the price after this report. Mold clean up cost us approx. $150.00 between some bleach and some subfloor we bought to replace the affected wood and $5400.00 for a new roof. Didn’t have any trouble selling the home. We did disclose there had been a mold issue. We told buyers we welcomed any inspections they wanted. The buyers only got a structural inspection. We had gotten the pest inspection. Both inspections came out clear for any water or fungus issues. Insurance doesn’t usually become a problem unless the home had a claim on it due to water and mold issues.

Kevin,
I’m with the others, Kilz, Clorox and X-14 will get rid of that mold problem, with out spending a pretty penny with some “Mold specialist” rip off company.
Trust me I live in Florida, the land of humidity and mold spores. (and rip off artists) 
Great Success,

Just fix the water leak, rip out the moldy drywall or floor and replace. Spray some clorox on it and move on the the next house.
