Why mold is common here
San Antonio's humid climate, summer storms and long AC season mean a lot of moisture inside homes. Mold needs moisture to grow. The EPA's main advice is simple: fix the water problem first, then clean or remove the mold, and dry wet materials within 24–48 hours.1
What a proper mold job looks like in Texas
- Assessment. A TDLR-licensed mold assessment consultant inspects and writes a remediation protocol.2,3
- Remediation. A separate TDLR-licensed remediation company follows that protocol: containment, removal of affected materials, HEPA cleaning and drying.2
- Clearance. The consultant checks the work. Within 10 days you should get a Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation.3,4
Before you hire
- Ask for their TDLR license number and check it on the TDLR License Search
- Ask for proof of liability insurance (TDLR requires at least $1 million or self-insurance)3
- Get a written scope and price
- Make sure the leak or moisture source is fixed too
