It is evening, you found mold, and nobody is coming tonight. Good news: the right moves right now are simple, and the wrong moves are avoidable.
Do these in order. None of them require a professional at 9 PM.
Aggressive scrubbing launches spores into the air without removing the colony. A light touch now; real remediation later.
Close the door, and if the HVAC has a return nearby, close that vent. You are just keeping spores from touring the house overnight.
Photos with something for scale, notes on size, location, and any smell. This is useful whether you DIY or call, and it costs nothing.
Feel for dampness around it, look for the nearest water source: plumbing, exterior wall, window, roof above. The mold is the symptom; tonight you are scouting the cause.
A dinner-plate patch on a hard surface is a careful DIY. Anything larger, anything in drywall, anything near HVAC, or any health symptoms in the household: that is a phone call.
Contain it, photograph it, and find the moisture source. Then call (857) 587-1545 in the morning with the photos; we can usually tell from pictures whether it is a small job or a real remediation.
