Warning Signs
Don't wait until it's visible.
Mold spreads fast.
Most mold problems are identified late — after they've spread beyond the visible surface. If you notice any of these signs, the scope is likely larger than it appears.
Scope of Work
What we handle
Why the License Matters
Most contractors can't legally do this work.
In Texas, mold remediation above a threshold square footage requires a state license. An unlicensed contractor doing mold work creates liability for the homeowner and produces documentation that won't hold up for insurance claims or future home sales.
State Licensed
Carlton holds a Texas mold remediation contractor license — not just a certification course. This is a legal requirement for the work, not a marketing credential.
Source Identification
Remediation without fixing the moisture source is temporary. We identify and address the cause before any remediation work begins.
Insurance-Grade Documentation
We provide documentation that supports homeowner insurance claims and satisfies disclosure requirements for future home sales.
The Process
From inspection to restored interior.
One contractor manages the entire scope — remediation through rebuild.
Inspection & Assessment
We identify the moisture source, scope the affected area, and document existing conditions. The source has to be fixed before remediation begins — otherwise the mold comes back.
Containment Setup
Affected areas are isolated with plastic barriers and negative air pressure to prevent spore migration during removal. This protects the rest of the home.
Removal & Treatment
Contaminated materials are removed and bagged for disposal. Remaining surfaces are treated with antimicrobial agents. HEPA filtration runs throughout.
Drying & Verification
We verify moisture levels are within acceptable range before any rebuild begins. No drywall goes up over a wet substrate.
Rebuild & Restore
We handle the full interior rebuild — drywall, insulation, paint, flooring, and finish work. You get one contractor who manages the entire process, not two separate scopes.
Common Questions
Mold remediation FAQ
Do I need a licensed mold remediation contractor?
In Texas, mold remediation projects above a certain square footage require a licensed mold remediation contractor. Carlton holds a Texas mold remediation license. This matters for insurance claims, documentation, and ensuring the work meets state standards.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover mold remediation?
It depends on the cause. Mold resulting from a sudden, accidental water event (burst pipe, appliance failure) is often covered. Mold from long-term moisture intrusion or neglect typically is not. We provide documentation that supports insurance claims when coverage applies.
How long does mold remediation take?
A standard remediation — containment, removal, treatment, and drying — typically takes 3–7 days depending on the affected area. The rebuild phase (drywall, paint, flooring) adds additional time. We give you a realistic timeline after the initial inspection.
Can I stay in the home during remediation?
For small, isolated areas, yes — with proper containment. For larger projects involving significant mold growth or multiple rooms, temporary relocation is typically recommended. We'll advise based on the specific scope.
What's the difference between mold removal and mold remediation?
Mold removal is surface-level cleaning. Mold remediation addresses the source, removes contaminated materials, treats affected surfaces, and verifies moisture levels before rebuilding. Removal without remediation almost always results in recurrence.
