Mold Remediation in Garland, TX

How a Texas project is organized

1. AssessmentA licensed mold assessor inspects, may sample, and writes a remediation protocol.
2. RemediationA separately licensed remediation contractor follows the protocol, with containment and HEPA filtration.
3. ClearanceThe assessor checks the work and may test the air or surfaces to confirm it passed.
4. CertificateAfter clearance, a Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation is issued to the owner.

Texas assessors and remediators hold separate licenses from TDLR (summary), and one company generally may not do both on the same project. That separation exists to keep the person judging the result independent of the person doing the work.

What remediation includes

• Containment with plastic sheeting and negative air pressure.
• Personal protective equipment.
• Removal of contaminated porous materials.
• Cleaning of salvageable surfaces with HEPA vacuums and detergents.
• Drying and humidity control.
• Final cleaning and clearance.

Ask before you hire

• License numbers for the remediator and, separately, the assessor.
• A written protocol that the work will follow.
• What the clearance standard will be and who performs it.
• How the moisture source will be fixed.
• Whether the work is covered by your policy.

Check current TDLR rules before you sign, because rules are under review. If you are not sure you need remediation at all, start with mold inspection. For the physical work, see mold removal.
