What is mold?
Molds are tiny fungi particles and are everywhere both indoors and out. Mold is most common where conditions are warm and humid. Not all mold is toxic, but those that are can cause serious respiratory issues and allergic reactions to people. |

How does mold spread?
Mold produces cells called “spores” which spread easily through the air and can enter homes via clothing and pets. When mold spores find a moisture-rich environment they grow. These spores are what are inhaled and can make people sick. |

Where does mold grow?
Most commonly in areas with leakage or seepage issues and many materials found in homes, like drywall, fabric, and wallpaper encourage mold growth by providing nutrients. |

What are the health risks with mold?
Some people are hyper-sensitive to mold and can quickly develop allergic type reactions and respiratory issues. All mold should be remediated and is remediated the same way so there is no need to test for “toxic mold”. |

How much will recovery/remediation cost me?
Every job is unique, so it is impossible to know exactly what your recovery/remediation might cost. Beware of bargain basement deals from non-certified, non-licensed companies. You don’t want to pay them then pay a professional company to come fix what they didn’t. In addition, you cannot get a Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation (CMDR) from an unlicensed company in Texas |

Will mold keep me from being able to sell my house or get insurance?
Absolutely not. A Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation (CMDR) is issued when you have mold remediated by a licensed MRC in the state of Texas. This is the state’s stamp of approval that the situation was addressed professionally and ensures that the property is insurable and protects the seller from mold liability when a property is sold. |
