TEXAS-REQUIRED · TDLR ACO1245
When mold is found, Texas law requires an independent licensed assessor to write the remediation protocol before any work can start. We write yours in 24 hours. $750 flat fee. We don’t perform remediation, so the plan is unbiased.
If a mold inspection confirmed contamination in your property, the next legally-required step is a mold remediation protocol. This is a written, TDLR-compliant document that tells the remediation contractor exactly how to remove the mold safely.
Without it, no licensed Texas remediator can begin work. We write yours in 24 hours, independent of any remediation company.
A written, step-by-step plan that instructs a licensed remediation company exactly how to safely remove mold contamination from your property.
A mold remediation protocol is the bridge between mold being discovered and mold being safely removed. It’s a formal, written document required by Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) for any remediation project over 25 square feet of contiguous mold growth.
The protocol is created by a licensed mold assessor (us) and given to a separate licensed mold remediation contractor (not us). This separation is required by Texas law and protects you from conflicts of interest.
The result: your remediation contractor knows exactly what to do, your insurance has documentation, and you have a third-party assessment that protects your investment.
In Texas, mold-related services are regulated by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). When mold contamination over 25 contiguous square feet is identified, a licensed mold remediation company must follow a written remediation protocol before beginning any work.
