Houston heat and humidity make mold one of the most common problems we run into. It shows up inside walls, under flooring, in attics, and in the HVAC system, where the AC can carry spores from room to room. Our crews find it on duct cleaning and water damage jobs every week, and we make sure it gets handled the right way.
How mold remediation works with us: when mold is growing in walls, floors, or attic materials, we refer the remediation to a TDLR-licensed mold remediation contractor, as Texas law requires. We stay on the job for the work that is ours: drying out water damage, cleaning the HVAC system and ducts, and replacing contaminated attic insulation.
Signs of Mold in a Houston Home
- A musty or earthy smell from the vents or walls
- Dark spots or staining on ceilings, walls, or around vents
- Allergy symptoms that ease up when you leave the house
- Water damage or a leak that was not fully dried within a day or two
- Recent storm or flood water in the house, attic, or ductwork
If any of that sounds familiar, call (832) 699-0888 and we will set up a visit.
Why Houston Homes Get Mold
Houston air stays humid most of the year, and our AC systems run nine or ten months of it. Cold coils and ducts meet damp air, condensation forms, and dust settling on those wet surfaces gives growth something to feed on.
Add hurricane season, heavy rain, and slab leaks, and water ends up in places it cannot dry out on its own. Mold can start growing within a day or two of that, often before anyone sees it.
Mold in Walls, Attics, and Floors
When mold is growing in building materials like drywall, insulation, subfloor, or framing, that is mold remediation. In Texas, larger jobs have to be done by a licensed mold remediation contractor following a written protocol from a licensed mold assessor, and the assessor and remediator have to be separate companies. That way nobody grades their own work.
We connect you with a licensed contractor and stay on the job for the parts that are ours:
- Drying out the space after a leak or flood through our water damage restoration service
- Cleaning the duct system after remediation, so spores do not get blown back into clean rooms
- Removing and replacing contaminated attic insulation when the protocol calls for it
- Before-and-after photos of everything we touch, which help with insurance claims
Mold in the HVAC System and Ducts
If the smell starts when the AC kicks on, the problem is often in the air handler: the coil, the drain pan, the plenum, or the first few feet of duct. That is where our crews spend most of their time. Our HVAC mold removal page explains how we inspect, clean, and treat the system.
Keeping It From Coming Back
Mold returns when the moisture does. The cause is usually one of a few things: a clogged condensate line, a sweating coil, a leak that never got repaired, or an attic that traps heat and humidity. We show you what we found and what needs to change. For systems with a history of moisture at the coil, a UV light system can help keep that area cleaner between visits.
