Austin Mold Removal: Our Origins
Our founders emerged from the disaster restoration industry within the Austin area. After witnessing countless poorly managed mold cases, especially following water-damage incidents, they focused on building a company dedicated to safe, comprehensive mold removal, adhering to Texas regulations.
Securing our TDLR Mold Remediation Contractor was one of our foundational steps. In Texas, under Occupations Code Chapter 1958, this license is mandatory for any company engaged in mold remediation, and we honor this requirement with utmost seriousness. Feel free to verify our license at the TDLR website anytime.
Our lead technicians hold certifications in IICRC AMRT (Applied Microbial Remediation Technician) and strictly adhere to the IICRC S520 Standard for Professional Mold Remediation. This means we ensure proper containment, maintain negative air pressure, follow documented clearance steps, and avoid shortcuts.
Our Services and Boundaries
Our primary focus is mold removal. We meticulously contain and clean affected areas, documenting every process. You can explore the work we cover from start to finish from start to finish on our services page.
Importantly, we refrain from performing mold assessment, air sampling, or lab analysis on projects where we handle remediation. Texas regulations distinctly separate these tasks to avoid conflicts of interest. A contractor offering both services might overestimate existing mold, compromising integrity. We won't put you in that situation.
If a written mold protocol is necessary before starting work, or you need post-remediation verification, we bring in an independent, licensed Mold Assessment Consultant. They work under their own TDLR license, ensuring their findings are independent of our services and reliable for both your insurer and potential buyers. the site-visit and evaluation step, a clear and transparent first step.
Our Commitment to Timely Response
We guarantee responses to all inquiries within 24 hours. For urgent cases involving active water intrusion or visible mold, our team prioritizes same-day visits. In central Texas, where wet weekends can escalate minor moisture issues into more serious ones within 48 to 72 hours, timely action is essential for minimizing damage.
Our service area covers Austin and surrounding counties, including Travis, Williamson, Hays, Bell, Bastrop, and Comal. We understand the distinctive needs of different homes, from cedar-frame bungalows in South Austin to newer slab-on-grade builds in Pflugerville, and tailor our approach accordingly.
