Mold removal
Mold remediation in Conroe, TX
Mold remediation removes mold growth under containment so spores don't spread, cleans or discards affected materials, and corrects the moisture problem that let it grow. Several states, including Texas, Florida, Louisiana and New York, license mold remediation, so check your state's rules.

Other risks in Conroe
San Jacinto River flooding
The West Fork of the San Jacinto River and its tributaries flooded parts of Montgomery County in 2016 and during Harvey in 2017.
Tree and storm damage
Pine forests mean falling trees and limbs in storms, which open roofs to rain.
Rapid growth and new subdivisions
Conroe's newest subdivisions to the south and east were built quickly, often on cleared forest land with shifting drainage patterns. New-home leaks from PEX fittings, attic water heaters and washing-machine boxes are common in the first few years after construction.
Signs you need mold remediation

Mold remediation questions
How can I protect a Lake Conroe home I don't live in full time?
Shut off the main water when you leave, install leak sensors or an automatic shutoff valve, and have someone check the home after storms and freezes.
Who handles permits in Conroe?
The City of Conroe handles permits inside city limits. Unincorporated Montgomery County addresses go through the county.
Do I need a licensed company for mold removal?
It depends on your state. Texas, Florida, Louisiana and New York license mold remediation above set sizes. In other states, look for IICRC-certified remediators, insurance and a written scope.
Does bleach kill mold?
Bleach can whiten mold on hard, non-porous surfaces, but it doesn't penetrate drywall or wood and adds moisture. Removal and cleaning, plus fixing the moisture, is the reliable fix.
