Mold Remediation Process: What to Expect

The Mold Remediation Process: What to Expect

A Guide from Boone’s Restoration Technologies – Serving Montgomery & Harris Counties, TX

Finding mold in your home or business can be alarming—not just because of how it looks or smells, but because of the health hazards and structural damage it can cause. Fortunately, professional mold remediation can restore both your peace of mind and your property.

At Boone’s Restoration Technologies, we help homeowners, landlords, and business owners across Montgomery and Harris Counties through every step of the remediation process. An important part of that journey involves working with a licensed Mold Assessment Consultant to ensure the problem is properly diagnosed and addressed.

Let’s walk through what you can expect during the mold remediation process—and why hiring qualified professionals matters.

Step 1: Mold Inspection by a Licensed Mold Assessment Consultant

Texas law requires that a licensed Mold Assessment Consultant (MAC) perform the initial inspection when a mold issue affects more than 25 contiguous square feet. This independent consultant plays a vital role in:

• Visually inspecting the affected areas and identifying potential sources of moisture.

• Using tools such as infrared cameras and moisture meters to detect hidden mold.

• Conducting air and surface sampling to determine mold type and concentration levels (if necessary).

• Creating a detailed Mold Remediation Protocol, which outlines the scope of work, containment procedures, cleaning methods, and clearance testing criteria.

This protocol is essential—it serves as a blueprint for the licensed remediation contractor and ensures the process follows state regulations and industry best practices.

Step 2: Containment to Prevent Cross-Contamination

Before any mold removal begins, it’s critical to contain the area to stop mold spores from spreading throughout your home or business. Boone’s follows strict containment procedures, which may include:

• Sealing the affected space with heavy-duty plastic sheeting.

• Using negative air pressure machines to keep airborne spores from escaping the containment zone.

• Shutting down HVAC systems to prevent spores from traveling through ductwork.

Containment helps protect unaffected areas and ensures that cleanup is effective and isolated.

Step 3: Mold Removal According to the Remediation Protocol

With containment in place, Boone’s Restoration Technologies follows the Mold Remediation Protocol provided by the Mold Assessment Consultant to safely remove mold:

• Non-porous surfaces (like tile, metal, or plastic) are cleaned using EPA-approved antimicrobial solutions.

• Porous materials (like drywall, insulation, or carpet) that are saturated with mold must be carefully removed and properly disposed of.

• All affected areas are cleaned, disinfected, and treated to prevent future growth.

Our licensed team strictly follows all safety and disposal guidelines to protect both occupants and workers.

Step 4: HEPA Air Filtration for Clean, Healthy Air

During remediation, we use HEPA-filtered air scrubbers and vacuums to capture airborne mold spores and fine particles. This helps:

• Improve indoor air quality throughout the space.

• Support a safer environment for both occupants and technicians.

• Meet the post-remediation air quality standards outlined in the protocol.

Step 5: Final Inspection and Clearance Testing

After the remediation is complete, the Mold Assessment Consultant returns to verify that the job meets all protocol requirements. This step includes:

• A visual inspection of all treated areas.

• Air and/or surface sampling to ensure mold levels are within acceptable limits.

• If successful, the issuance of a Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation, documenting that the mold issue was resolved according to state standards.

This final clearance gives you peace of mind and proof of proper remediation—especially important if you're selling or leasing the property.

Step 6: Repairs and Restoration

Once the mold has been safely removed, Boone’s can begin restoring your home or business. This might include:

• Replacing insulation, drywall, flooring, or trim.

• Painting and restoring finishes to their original condition.

• Making any moisture-control improvements to help prevent future mold issues.

Because Boone’s is a full-service restoration company, we handle everything from remediation to repairs—so you don’t have to coordinate with multiple contractors.
