Licensed Mold Remediation in Texas
A mold remediation contractor removes, cleans, sanitizes or otherwise treats mold-contaminated material, following a protocol written by a licensed mold assessment consultant. The listings below hold a current Texas mold remediation contractor (MRC) or mold remediation company (RCO) license from TDLR.
Why choose this
- A licensed remediation contractor removes, cleans or treats mold-contaminated material under a written work plan based on the assessor's protocol.
- Remediators set up containment to keep spores and dust from spreading into clean parts of the building during the work.
- When the job passes, the remediator gives you a Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation, which matters when you insure or sell the home.
Things to consider
- Mold comes back if the moisture source isn't fixed. Make sure someone is responsible for the leak, flood damage or humidity problem.
- Rebuilding drywall, flooring or cabinets after removal may be separate work.
- The remediator may not also be the assessor on your project, so you will pay two separate licensees.
Questions to ask
- Their TDLR license number and type (MAC, MRC, ACO or RCO), so you can confirm it is current on TDLR License Search.
- Proof of liability insurance, with your property named on the certificate if possible.
- A written contract that describes the work, the areas covered and what the price includes.
- Whether they have the licensed assessment consultant's written protocol, and how they handle anything found beyond it.
- What containment, air filtration and protective equipment they use, and how they keep the rest of the home clean.
- Who does the post-remediation assessment, and what happens if the area doesn't pass.
- That they will give you the Consumer Mold Information Sheet before work starts and the Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation (MDR-1) when the job passes.

Frequently asked questions
When do you need a licensed mold remediator in Texas?
Texas requires a license to perform mold remediation, but TDLR says that in most cases visible mold of less than 25 contiguous square feet can be cleaned up by people who are not licensed, and there are owner and small-landlord exemptions (for example, buildings with fewer than 10 units). If you hire a licensed remediator, they must follow the law and rules whatever the size of the job.
How do I know the remediation is finished?
A licensed mold assessment consultant does a post-remediation assessment. EPA's remediation guide says the moisture problem must be fixed, visible mold, mold-damaged materials and moldy odors should be gone, and people should be able to occupy the space without health complaints. In Texas the remediator then provides a Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation (TDI form MDR-1).
Why does the Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation matter?
Under Texas Insurance Code section 544.303, an insurer generally may not make an adverse underwriting decision on a residential property policy based on previous mold damage that has been remediated and certified. Keep the certificate with your records; Texas also requires sellers to give buyers copies of certificates issued for the property.
