We set up containment barriers and negative air pressure to prevent mold spores from spreading to unaffected areas of your home during remediation.

All affected areas, materials removed, and treatments applied are documented in writing for your homeowner's insurance claim and records.
Black mold removal pricing depends on the size of the affected area, the materials involved, and whether the moisture source has been addressed. A single wall cavity differs significantly from attic or crawl space mold. We provide a written scope before starting.
Black mold removal typically takes 1–3 days depending on scope. We contain the work area to protect the rest of your home during the process.
Mold spore counts in Austin peak in spring and fall. An active mold colony in your walls doubles in size roughly every 3 days. Respiratory effects from mold exposure are well-documented. The sooner remediation begins, the smaller the affected area.
Visual identification of mold type requires laboratory testing. The color of mold is not a reliable indicator of its type or toxicity. Any mold growth in your home should be addressed by a professional regardless of color.
In many cases, you can remain in unaffected areas of your home during remediation. We set up containment barriers and negative air pressure to prevent spores from spreading. We'll discuss your specific situation when we assess the damage.
Homeowner's insurance may cover mold remediation when it results directly from a covered water damage event. Coverage varies by policy. We document the mold and its source to support your claim.
Mold returns when moisture is present. The key is addressing the moisture source — whether that's a plumbing leak, roof leak, or condensation issue. We identify and document the moisture source as part of our assessment.
