Mold follows water
Mold spores are everywhere, indoors and out. They only become a problem when they land on something that stays wet. In Hondo that usually means a slow leak under a sink or behind a dishwasher, a roof leak after hail, a crawlspace that stays damp under a pier-and-beam home, or a water loss that was mopped up but never properly dried.
That is why remediation always starts with the moisture source. Removing mold without fixing the water problem just resets the clock.
Texas rules for mold remediation
Texas regulates mold work through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). When the mold covers 25 contiguous square feet or more, the work generally has to follow the Texas Mold Assessment and Remediation Rules:
For smaller areas under 25 square feet, the same containment and removal methods still apply even where a licence is not required.
A licensed mold assessment consultant inspects and writes a remediation protocol.
A licensed mold remediation contractor carries out the work.
The assessor and the remediator must be independent of each other, so the company that removes the mold is not the one deciding how much there is.
After the work, a post-remediation assessment confirms the area passed.

How mold removal works
- 1
Contain
Seal the work area with plastic sheeting and put it under negative air pressure, so spores do not spread through the house.
- 2
Filter
Run HEPA air scrubbers throughout the job.
- 3
Remove
Cut out mold-damaged drywall, insulation and other porous materials. Clean mold off framing and hard surfaces mechanically. Painting over mold is not remediation.
- 4
HEPA vacuum and clean
Clean every surface in the containment area.
- 5
Dry and verify
Confirm materials are dry, then pass the area for clearance.
Signs you may have a mold problem

FAQ
Mold Remediation in Hondo: FAQs
Still unsure? A person answers the phone 24/7 and can talk you through it.
Can I just spray bleach on mold?
Bleach can lighten surface staining on non-porous surfaces but does not remove mold growing inside drywall or wood. It also adds water. Porous materials with growth need to be removed.
Do I need a mold test first?
If the visible area is 25 square feet or more, Texas rules call for an assessment by a licensed consultant, who writes the protocol. For small visible areas, the moisture source and the growth can usually be dealt with directly.
How long does mold remediation take?
Small jobs take one to two days. Larger jobs with containment, removal and clearance usually take three to five days.
Will the mold come back?
Not if the moisture source is fixed and the structure is dried. Mold that returns is almost always a moisture problem that was not solved.
