What a licensed remediation job actually involves, in the order it happens. Every step below is the contractor's work, not ours.
-
Step 1: Assessment
A licensed assessor establishes whether there is growth, how far it extends, and where the moisture is coming from.
-
Step 2: Containment
Barriers and negative air pressure go up first, so disturbing material does not move spores into clean rooms.
-
Step 3: Removal
Porous material that cannot be cleaned comes out - drywall cut past the moisture line, insulation, carpet pad, cabinet bases.
-
Step 4: Drying
Dehumidifiers and air movers bring the structure back to a dry standard, with readings logged from the material rather than the surface.
What drives moisture problems in Hobbs
Mold removal in Hobbs reaches out through Chaparral Mobile Home Park, and our local pros handle all of it. It sits on the Llano Estacado of the Permian Basin, taking 13.77 inches a year, most of it as September storms on caliche that will not absorb them.
Housing stock
Of roughly 16,117 housing units, about 10,716 were finished in 1989 or earlier, which puts the median construction year at 1980. Slab-on-grade stucco and brick, median 1980, on caliche and oil-field fill, with a large share of manufactured housing on the edges.
Climate and water risk
Hobbs averages 13.77 inches of precipitation a year on the 1991–2020 normals, taken at HOBBS 1.7 miles away, with September the wettest month at 2.46 inches. September's 2.46 inches is a monsoon burst on a caprock that sheds like pavement. Playas fill; yards pond; slabs take the water at the edge because there is no soil to buffer it. The rest of the year is dry enough that a plumbing leak under the slab can run unseen for months.
Common moisture and mold problems in Hobbs
- Caliche shedding September monsoon bursts into yards and slab edges like a paved lot
- Playas on the Llano filling and wetting adjacent manufactured-housing pads
- Supply-line leaks under 1980s slabs spreading sideways because caliche will not let them down
- Oil-field fill and caliche cuts creating perched pockets under later houses

Frequently asked questions
Fourteen inches a year. Why would a slab still flood at the edge?
Because those inches arrive as a September burst on rock. Caliche does not soak. A 2.46-inch storm is a sheet of water looking for the lowest opening, which is often the slab edge or a pad. The annual total is desert; the afternoon is not.
A playa is a dry lake. When is it not dry?
After the monsoon. Playas on the Llano are the drainage. September fills them, and a manufactured-housing pad next to one is a few inches above a new pond. The rest of the year the playa is a field. The map does not change; the water does.
The water bill jumped and the floor is warm. Rain is not involved?
Usually not. A slab leak on caliche has nowhere to drain, so it travels under the floor. In a climate this dry that can run for months without a smell. The monsoon is the other failure. This one is plumbing, and the caliche is why it hides.
