Mold thrives in the Gulf Coast heat and humidity, especially after flooding, plumbing leaks, or long-overlooked maintenance issues. In the Spring Branch area, where older ranch homes, new builds, and upscale properties often sit side-by-side, mold can take hold in hidden spaces like wall cavities, crawlspaces, and HVAC systems.
When mold damage is discovered in your home or business, 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.

Localized flooding from sudden storms or Barker Reservoir overflow causes hidden moisture under flooring and inside walls. 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.
With our long cooling seasons, improperly drained air conditioning systems often create mold-prone environments in attics and mechanical closets. Many homes in Spring Branch East and Hilshire Village still have older copper or galvanized piping prone to leaks. Plumbing failures, like leaks or blockages, lead to mold growth in a property. When water from these issues seeps into walls or floors, it creates a perfect environment for mold to thrive. When airborne mold spores collide with the excess moisture, it can result in mold colonies. If plumbing problems are not addressed promptly, mold will take hold and require professional mold remediation.
High winds during Gulf Coast storms compromise flashing and seals, especially in homes with older or improperly installed roofing. Particularly in mid-century homes or recent flips, water intrusion around flashing can lead to mold behind walls and ceilings. 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 attention.
Garages, attics, and crawlspaces in Spring Branch homes are often under-ventilated, leading to condensation and persistent moisture. 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.
Unpermitted additions or poorly executed remodels, particularly in HOA-regulated communities, may lack proper waterproofing or airflow, trapping moisture. We’ve seen cases in deed-restricted communities like Hilshire Village where mold issues arose from improperly ventilated or non-compliant remodeling work. A poorly constructed or sealed building can lead to excessive moisture and water leakage, creating an ideal environment for mold to flourish. Cracks in the foundation, incorrectly installed windows, inadequate insulation, and insufficient ventilation can all contribute to water intrusion, enabling mold growth.
Blocked gutters, clogged A/C drains, and minor leaks turn into mold nightmares when ignored. In some cases, insurance may deny claims due to lack of upkeep. Not performing regular routine maintenance can be a primary reason for insurance companies to deny a claim related to water intrusion.
