Mold removal

Attic mold removal in Texas

Attic mold usually grows on roof decking from condensation, poor ventilation, bathroom fans vented into the attic, or roof and AC leaks. Removal cleans or treats the decking and rafters, and the ventilation or moisture source is corrected so it doesn't return.

Water lines in attics and exterior walls burst during hard freezes, as in February 2021. Expansive clay soils crack under-slab pipes, and hail damages roofs across North and Central Texas.

In Dallas: Water lines in attics and exterior walls burst across the city during the February 2021 storm. A hard freeze still brings a wave of ceiling and wall water damage calls. In Fort Worth: Attic water heaters and air handlers are standard in newer Fort Worth homes. Pan overflows and failed tank fittings cause sudden ceiling damage. In Arlington: Hailstorms regularly hit Tarrant County. Damaged roofs let water into attics and ceilings during the next rain. In Irving: Storm cells crossing Dallas County regularly bring hail and straight-line winds to Irving. Older composition roofs on 1960s–70s homes lose granules and shingles, and water then reaches attic insulation and ceilings during the next heavy rain, often weeks after the storm.

Most homes are slab-on-grade with water lines and HVAC equipment in the attic, from post-war ranches to large master-planned communities.

Texas doesn't license general contractors statewide, but it licenses mold assessors and mold remediation contractors through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) for projects of 25 contiguous square feet or more.

Attic mold removal questions

Do I need a licensed mold company in Texas?

Yes, for jobs of 25 contiguous square feet or more. Texas requires a TDLR-licensed remediator, plus an independent licensed assessor to write the protocol.

Is a slab leak covered by insurance in Texas?

Many policies cover the water damage and the cost to access the pipe, but not the pipe repair itself. Your policy wording decides.

Is attic mold a deal-breaker when selling a house?

Not usually, if it's remediated and the cause is fixed with documentation. Buyers mainly want proof it was handled correctly.
