Questions About Mold Removal? Contact Us Today!

If you discover mold in your home, it’s crucial to contact a mold removal specialist in Houston, TX immediately. Mold thrives when materials stay wet for extended periods, and addressing it promptly can prevent further damage. Moisture intrusion can occur for various reasons, including but not limited to:

  • Construction defects
  • Plumbing failures
  • Appliance water line or drain line breaks
  • Improper maintenance
  • Weather-related issues including storms and hurricanes

When mold damage is discovered in your home or business in Houston, TX, the most critical course of action is to have it remediated as quickly as possible and ensure structural materials remaining are dried as quickly as possible.

PuroClean’s IICRC certified technicians follow industry standards to remediate mold that has infected and or damaged property the right way. Our goal is to return your home or business to a pre-loss condition by taking the following steps.

  1. Establish a scope of remediation and repair by thoroughly inspecting the affected area/s.
  2. Implement engineering controls and containment to prevent cross-contamination of unaffected areas of the building by utilizing negative pressures with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) air filtration devices.
  3. Develop a remediation protocol to remove contaminates by:
    • Removing compromised materials and contents per industry standards.
    • Thoroughly clean the air by using HEPA air filters devices and HEPA vacuums.
    • Thoroughly clean all surfaces with cleaning solutions that may include EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) registered disinfectants, followed HEPA vacuuming all surfaces again. Once remediation is complete, it is recommended to have a Certified Industrial Hygienist complete a 3rd part clearance test to ensure the building is safe for occupancy. A good source to find a CIH is through ACGIH.org website.

We can provide a complete estimate, including photos, to the agent or adjuster within 24-48 hours. Our commitment to excellence means that you can expect effective, ongoing communication and reporting from us.

Most Common Reasons For Mold Removal In Your Property

Mold Can Be Caused By A Number Of Different Origins

Construction Defects

Construction defects can severely compromise a property’s structural integrity and create the perfect conditions for mold growth, making mold removal necessary. Poorly constructed or sealed buildings are especially prone to excessive moisture and water leakage, which encourage mold to flourish.

Common issues such as cracks in the foundation, improperly installed windows, inadequate insulation, and insufficient ventilation allow water to intrude into the structure. Over time, this excess moisture accumulates in walls, ceilings, or floors, providing mold spores with the damp environment they need to grow. Addressing construction defects early is crucial to preventing water damage and costly mold remediation.

Plumbing Failures

Plumbing failures, such as leaks, burst pipes, or blockages, are one of the most common causes of mold growth in a property. When water from these issues seeps into porous surfaces like walls, floors, or ceilings, it creates a moist environment that becomes a breeding ground for mold.

Airborne mold spores easily settle into these damp areas, forming colonies within as little as 24 to 48 hours. If plumbing problems are not repaired promptly, the water damage can spread, making mold remediation increasingly difficult and costly. Regular plumbing inspections and timely repairs are critical to preventing mold-related issues.

Appliance Failures

Malfunctioning appliances, such as leaky dishwashers, water heaters, ice makers, or washing machine supply lines, are a significant source of water damage and mold growth. When these appliances fail, water often seeps into hidden spaces like behind walls, under floors, or inside cabinetry.

These areas remain damp and dark, providing the ideal conditions for mold to develop and spread. Routine maintenance, inspections, and prompt repairs of appliances are essential to preventing water leaks and subsequent mold growth. Failure to address these issues quickly can lead to extensive mold damage that requires professional remediation services.

Improper Property Maintenance

Neglecting regular property maintenance can create the ideal conditions for mold to grow unchecked. Issues such as ignored roof leaks, unresolved plumbing problems, poor ventilation, or clogged drainage systems can result in prolonged moisture exposure, which encourages mold proliferation.

Beyond mold growth, neglecting maintenance may cause complications with insurance claims, as many policies deny coverage for damage resulting from lack of upkeep. Routine inspections, timely repairs, and proper ventilation are critical steps to maintaining a mold-free environment and ensuring your property remains insurable.

Other Reasons for Mold Removal and Remediation in Your Property

Roof Leaks

Roof leaks can cause water to infiltrate your property, potentially causing mold to grow in your home or business. Often, the water will seep into an attic or dark crevice of your roof, enabling mold growth. If the problem is not detected in time, mold can spread, causing structural damage. Mold damage caused by roof leaks requires immediate mold removal.

Weather-Related Incidents

Heavy rains, flooding, or excessive moisture caused by storms can create a breeding ground for mold. When water infiltrates homes or buildings, particularly in places where it shouldn’t linger, it sets the stage for mold spores to thrive and multiply.

Even after the storm subsides, the moisture in walls, floors, and other structural elements can initiate a silent but potentially damaging mold invasion. Prompt action is necessary to remediate the mold.

Excessive Humidity

Excessive humidity is the ultimate breeding ground for mold growth. When humidity levels exceed 60% RH or higher, especially in enclosed spaces, the air becomes saturated with moisture and result in conditions that can allow mold growth. Areas like bathrooms, basements, crawlspaces, or poorly ventilated rooms are particularly susceptible. High humidity also inhibits proper drying, allowing mold to spread further.
