Professional mold remediation for properties affected by leaks, flooding, humidity and other moisture problems.
Professional mold remediation for Houston properties
Mold problems are usually connected to moisture. Effective remediation focuses on identifying affected areas, controlling the spread of airborne particles, removing or cleaning impacted materials as appropriate, and correcting the moisture condition that allowed growth to develop.
Our mold remediation approach
- Assessment of visible and suspected affected areas
- Containment of the work area when appropriate
- Use of HEPA-filtered equipment
- Removal or cleaning of affected materials based on condition
- Detailed cleaning of the work area
- Moisture correction and drying
- Post-remediation steps as required for the project
Mold after water damage
Leaks, floods and incomplete drying can leave moisture inside walls, under flooring or around cabinetry. When mold is connected to a water-loss event, the moisture problem and the affected materials should be addressed together.
Why containment matters
Containment helps separate a remediation work area from unaffected parts of the building. The exact setup depends on the size, location and conditions of the project.
We Work With Major Insurance Carriers

Frequently asked questions
What causes mold growth after a water leak?
Persistent moisture in building materials can create conditions that support mold growth.
Should mold simply be painted over?
No. Coating visible growth does not correct the underlying moisture problem or remove affected material.
Can mold be hidden behind drywall?
Moisture can move into wall cavities, so further inspection may be necessary when there are stains, odors or a known leak.
