We are flooded in my furnished basement. We have furniture and carpet.
The water is still coming in after 5 days.
We are going to have the basement cleaned by a specialist. By that I
mean carpet taken up water sucked out, cleaned dried with fans and
hopefully dehumidifiers.
But I want to be protected against mold. I just learned that cleaning
a basement and doing mold remediation are two separate things. Should
we hire someone who does both? Or will getting the water out on time
protect us from the mold?

Depends on how quickly basement is completely dried out. Mold/mildew
grows fast under ideal conditions.
