Mold Removal & Remediation in Lubbock, TX
Containment, HEPA filtration, and antimicrobial treatment remove mold colonies at the source and stop cross-contamination through the rest of the home. Mold remediation removes affected porous materials and corrects the moisture source that allowed growth. The work is done under containment with HEPA filtration so spores are not carried into unaffected rooms, and the area is cleared only once the underlying moisture problem has been resolved.
Remediation is the step after the assessment, not before it. A local pro establishes how far the growth extends and what is feeding it, because removing what is visible while the moisture source is still running puts the same colony back in the same wall. Texas and several other states also set a square-footage point above which the work has to be done by a licensed remediator — the service note below covers where that line falls in this city.

Frequently asked questions
Where does runoff actually end up in a city with no river?
In playa basins — shallow closed depressions scattered across the caprock that fill after a storm and empty mainly by evaporation. Water reaching one is not passing through on its way somewhere else, so the ground around it stays loaded far longer than a drainage map would suggest.
Our house feels bone dry inside. Could there still be a moisture problem?
Comfortably, yes. Growth needs wet material, not humid rooms, so a leak inside a wall proceeds on its own schedule regardless of what the thermostat reads. What the arid air removes is the warning: no musty smell, no condensation on glass, and often no clue until something is visible.
The ground looks like packed dirt. Does that affect drainage?
Substantially. Caliche is a cemented layer that forms in dry soils and behaves closer to pavement than to earth, so infiltration effectively stops where it begins. A modest storm on that surface generates runoff out of all proportion to the rainfall total behind it.
