Why a Licensed Contractor Isn't Optional in Texas

Texas has some of the strictest mold remediation laws in the country. Here's what's at stake if the contractor you hire isn't TDLR-licensed.

1

There's a Document Your Contractor Is Required to Give You

Most Texas homeowners have never heard of a Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation. Under Texas law, only a licensed TDLR Mold Assessment Consultant who did NOT perform the remediation can issue one – meaning two licensed professionals are required on every job. Without it: your insurer can refuse to reinstate mold coverage, you remain personally liable indefinitely, and you're legally required to hand it to buyers if you sell within 5 years. You cannot get one after the fact.

2

Using an Unlicensed Contractor Hands Your Insurer a Reason to Deny Your Claim

Insurance companies are already looking for any legitimate reason to underpay mold claims. Texas law requires a licensed TDLR contractor for any job over 25 contiguous square feet. If the work wasn't done by a licensed firm, your insurer can use that fact to limit or deny your claim entirely and refuse to reinstate your mold coverage going forward.

3

No CMDR Means No Clean Sale – and Potentially a Lawsuit After Closing

Texas law requires sellers to provide buyers with every Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation from the past five years. No licensed contractor means no certificate. No certificate means your deal can fall apart, you may be forced to reduce your price, and if the buyer discovers mold after closing, Texas courts favor buyers. Under the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act, intentional non-disclosure can result in triple damages.

Black Mold Removal

Black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) requires professional containment and should never be disturbed without proper equipment. Our TDLR-licensed contractors use negative air pressure, HEPA filtration, and full PPE to safely remove black mold.

Emergency Mold Removal

Mold spreads within 24–48 hours of water exposure in Texas's warm, humid climate. Our licensed contractors respond within hours, containing the affected area and beginning remediation immediately to limit structural damage.

Water Damage & Mold Remediation

Water damage left unaddressed almost always leads to mold growth behind walls and under flooring. Our contractors handle both water extraction and mold remediation in a single coordinated response.

Mold Inspection & Testing

A professional inspection identifies visible and hidden mold growth, moisture sources, and air quality issues. Our TDLR-licensed Mold Assessment Consultants deliver written assessments fully compliant with Texas law.

Attic Mold Remediation

Texas attics are prime mold environments due to extreme heat, poor ventilation, and roof leaks. Our contractors identify the moisture source, remove contaminated material, and correct the ventilation issue to prevent recurrence.

Crawl Space Mold Remediation

Crawl spaces beneath Texas homes are especially vulnerable to ground moisture and standing water after heavy rains. Our licensed teams perform full remediation including vapor barrier installation and long-term moisture control.

HVAC & Air Duct Mold Removal

Texas homes run air conditioning year-round, making HVAC units and ductwork common mold sites. Our professionals clean and treat air handlers, evaporator coils, and ductwork to stop mold from circulating through your home.

Bathroom Mold Removal

Bathrooms are the most common site of household mold due to chronic moisture and poor ventilation. Our contractors remove mold from tile grout, drywall, subfloor, and ceilings – and address the root cause to prevent return.

Basement Mold Removal

Texas basements are highly vulnerable to mold due to groundwater intrusion and humidity. Our TDLR-licensed contractors perform full containment, removal, and post-remediation testing using IICRC S520-compliant protocols.

Commercial Mold Remediation

Commercial remediation requires minimal business disruption while meeting strict documentation standards. Our licensed contractors handle offices, retail spaces, warehouses, and multi-unit residential properties with full written protocols.

Real Estate Mold Inspection

Mold discoveries during Texas real estate transactions can delay or kill deals. Our TDLR-licensed Mold Assessment Consultants provide inspection reports suitable for real estate transactions with fast turnaround.

Post-Remediation Clearance Testing

After remediation is complete, a clearance test confirms mold levels have returned to acceptable levels. Texas law requires this testing to be performed by a licensed Mold Assessment Consultant independent from the remediating contractor.

Rental Property Mold Services

Texas landlords have a legal obligation to address mold promptly. Our TDLR-licensed contractors provide rapid response, legal compliance documentation, and preventive assessments between tenancies.

Mold Prevention & Treatment

Preventative mold treatment applies EPA-registered antimicrobial coatings to vulnerable surfaces before mold develops. Our contractors assess humidity levels, ventilation, and past water damage to treat high-risk areas proactively.
