TDLR-licensed remediation. Independent Mold Assessment Consultant. HEPA containment with negative-air. Post-remediation lab clearance. Insurance billed direct. We do work most companies aren't legally allowed to perform in Texas.
Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1958 requires an independent TDLR-licensed Mold Assessment Consultant (MAC) for inspection, plus a separate TDLR-licensed Mold Remediation Contractor (MRC) for the actual work. Same company can't legally do both. We're the MRC — and we work with independent MACs you choose.
Unlicensed mold work in Texas voids insurance coverage and future real estate disclosure protection.

Mold discovered 1-4 weeks after a leak, flood, or burst pipe. 80% of our work.
Confirmed by lab as toxigenic. Full Level C PPE, strict containment.
Buyer inspection found mold. Need legal clearance for closing.
Discovered after closing. Documenting for seller claim or future resale.
Asthma, allergies, persistent cough linked to indoor air. Children especially.
Multi-unit mold from shared plumbing or HVAC. Tenant-friendly scheduling.
After Harvey, Imelda, or Beryl — homes that weren't properly remediated.
Previous remediation didn't work. We find and fix the moisture source.
TDLR-licensed Mold Assessment Consultant inspects, samples, and writes the Mold Assessment Protocol — the legal scope document. We don't write this; an independent third party does. This is the law.
Polyethylene sheeting walls. HEPA-filtered negative-air scrubbers. Spores can't migrate to clean areas during removal.
Remediation fails if the moisture source isn't fixed. We identify and address the leak, humidity, or HVAC cause.
Contaminated drywall, carpet padding, insulation, ceiling tiles. Bagged for disposal. Tyvek PPE + respirators throughout.
HEPA vacuums remove remaining spores. EPA-registered antimicrobials on non-porous surfaces. Air scrubbers run continuously.
Third-party MAC re-tests air and surface samples. Clean clearance legally closes the project — protects future real estate disclosures.
Free initial inspection. Insurance covers most — you pay deductible only.
Insurance covered: $5K-$10K limit typical when mold results from a covered water event. Out-of-pocket: deductible only.
Texas policies cover mold ONLY when it results from a covered water event. Coverage limits are usually $5K-$10K.
The trick is documenting the water source. Mold from Hurricane Harvey isn't covered (flood exclusion); mold from a burst pipe during Winter Storm Uri usually is. We make the connection clear to your adjuster.
Coverage varies by policy
"Three other companies quoted $40K. The independent MAC determined only one room was affected. Final cost: $4,500. Honest assessment in an industry full of upsells."
"Buyer inspection found black mold 5 days before closing. They got the MAC scheduled, remediation done, clearance test passed in 8 days. Closed on time. Realtor said fastest mold response she'd ever seen."
"Slow leak caused black mold behind kitchen wall. Daughter's asthma was getting worse. They documented the burst-pipe source so insurance covered $10K. After remediation, her symptoms improved within weeks."
Yes. We hold a TDLR Mold Remediation Contractor license and coordinate with independent TDLR-licensed MACs. Required by Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1958 for any project over 25 sq ft.
Most Texas policies cover $5K-$10K when mold results from a covered water event. Mold from gradual leaks, humidity, or flooding is excluded. We document the water source to maximize coverage.
No. Bleach kills surface mold only — doesn't penetrate porous materials where mold roots grow. The water in bleach actually feeds deeper mold. EPA and IICRC do not recommend bleach. Professional EPA-registered antimicrobials and porous material removal are required.
Initial inspection within 24-48 hours. Independent MAC assessment takes 2-3 days. Active remediation starts immediately after — typically 3-5 days from first call to crew in containment.
Texas law prohibits the same company from both inspecting and remediating over 25 sq ft. Prevents conflicts of interest — companies inflating problems to sell unnecessary work. TDLR designed this to protect consumers.
Independent third-party lab analysis showing spore counts inside the remediated area are lower than outside ambient air. Clean clearance legally closes the project and protects future real estate disclosure, insurance claims, and health-related concerns.
If you see mold, smell mold, or have water damage from the past 30 days — call us. The inspection is free, and we only recommend remediation if it's actually needed.
