Should you remove or repair drywall that has visible mold?

Removing moldy drywall is almost always recommended for highly infected areas. If the core of the drywall is starting to disintegrate or the paper is peeling off then definitely get it replaced.
If you see black mold, you may want to get it tested, just know that not all black mold is toxic. Place your safety first if you do try to remediate it yourself and if you need help with the rebuild we have a division that will come out and patch/replace the affected area.
If you do decide to have the mold tested then get a quote before you commit to remediating. Sometimes it is equally as cost effective to remove and replace the affected drywall, then there is no need for testing at all. We recommend getting quotes for both.
