Sukie

Sukie is a homeowner who has personally remediated black mold in two houses — a 1990s bathroom that flooded and a damp finished basement. She writes Black Mold Removal Hub to turn what she learned (often the hard way) into clear, honest guidance for other homeowners deciding whether to clean mold themselves or call a pro.

The first time, it was a 1990s bathroom: a slow leak behind the tub surround that we didn't notice until the wall felt soft and a black bloom spread across the corner. The second was a finished basement that stayed just damp enough, just long enough, for mold to take hold behind the baseboards. Both times I learned the same lesson the hard way — cleaning the surface does nothing if you don't fix the water first, and knowing the real cost up front is the difference between a fair contractor and an expensive one.

I started Black Mold Removal Hub to turn that trial-and-error into clear guidance: what to do in what order, when a job is genuinely DIY-able, when to stop and call a certified pro, and what any of it should cost. I research every guide against authoritative sources like the EPA and CDC, add what I learned firsthand, and edit every article before it publishes. You can read more on our editorial process page.
