Get your free estimateFast, Reliable Mold Remediation Across Houston
Mold remediation in Houston typically runs $1,800 to $6,500 depending on square footage and how far the growth has spread, and most jobs can be started within 24 to 48 hours. If you’re standing in a house that smells like wet drywall after a storm, or you’ve spotted black spotting climbing a bathroom wall, you need a crew that understands Houston’s climate, not just a generic cleanup company. Keegan Restoration Houston has handled mold jobs from Meyerland to Kingwood, and we know that subtropical humidity here means waiting 48 hours is often 48 hours too long. Call (325) 550-1783 and you’ll get a live person, not a phone tree.
Why Keegan Restoration Houston Is Houston’s Preferred Mold Remediation Company
Houston homeowners have been burned by contractors who no-show or change the price after tearing out drywall. We run every job to The Garrison Standard: the written price goes to you before any work starts, and it doesn’t move. The technicians who show up at your door are background-checked, uniformed, and dispatched from our Houston office, not a call center three states away.
We’ve worked inside 610, out in the Energy Corridor, and through neighborhoods like Westbury and Sharpstown where 1960s ranch homes sit on slabs that hold moisture longer than they should. The calls we get from Houston homeowners share a pattern: a slow slab leak, a flooded garage after a heavy downpour, a bathroom exhaust fan that never got fixed. We document everything with photo evidence and moisture mapping, formatted to support your insurance claim from day one.
Shane Pruitt leads the team at Keegan Restoration Houston, and he holds every job to The Garrison Code: show up inside the window, price in writing, do it by the book, leave the site clean, stand behind the work for a full year. That last part isn’t talk. It’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing, and it’s a big reason Houston homeowners call us back when the next storm rolls through.
Restoration work we handle
Bathroom Mold Removal in Houston
Bathroom mold removal in Houston is one of the most common jobs we run, and it’s almost always tied to the same two culprits: inadequate ventilation in older slab-on-grade homes and slow leaks behind tub surrounds or toilet flanges. Houston’s humidity means that a bathroom that steams up every morning and never gets properly vented will show mold on the ceiling, in the grout lines, and behind the vanity within a few months. Ranges for this work fall between $500 and $2,500 depending on whether we’re treating surface growth or pulling out wet drywall and insulation behind it.
Ventilation and Humidity Control
The fix isn’t just killing the surface mold. If the exhaust fan is undersized or blowing into the attic instead of outside, the problem comes back in weeks. We check ventilation as part of every bathroom mold job and give you a straight answer about what to change.
Behind-Wall Growth
When mold gets behind tile or drywall, scrubbing the surface doesn’t do anything. We set containment, remove the affected material, and run professional dehumidification until moisture readings confirm the cavity is dry. That’s the only way to keep bathroom mold from returning in a Houston summer.
Mold Removal Service in Houston
Mold removal service in Houston has to account for the way this city floods and how slowly things dry afterward. Whether it’s a Category 3 flood from Brays Bayou or a slow leak inside a wall, the removal process involves containment, controlled demolition of affected materials, HEPA air scrubbing, and drying to a target moisture content, which is the only way to prevent regrowth. A whole-room removal runs $1,500 to $4,000 in most Houston homes. A larger job, like post-flood work throughout a 2,500 square foot ranch, runs $4,000 to $6,500.
Containment and Air Scrubbers
We seal off the affected area before disturbing any mold growth. That keeps spores from spreading through your HVAC system into rooms that haven’t been affected. Then we run professional-grade air scrubbers while removal is happening, not as an afterthought.
Material Removal vs. Surface Treatment
Porous materials that have been wet for more than 48 hours usually need to go. Drywall, insulation, carpet pad, and sometimes trim. Non-porous surfaces like tile or sealed concrete can be cleaned and treated. We’ll tell you which is which and put the scope in writing before anything gets torn out.
Trusted Brands We Service in Houston
We run professional-grade equipment from Dri-Eaz, XPOWER, B-Air, and Injectidry because Houston’s humidity demands commercial performance, not hardware-store gear. Our Houston warehouse keeps units staged and ready to load, which means we’re not waiting on a rental counter when your house needs drying now. Every unit is operated to IICRC and RIA standards, and the moisture readings we collect with that equipment are the same documentation your insurance adjuster wants to see. That’s how we support your claim while we fix your home.

AfterCommon Mold Remediation Problems We See in Houston Homes
- Waiting more than 48 hours after a heavy downpour. Houston’s heat and humidity mean mold on wet drywall moves fast. By day three, growth is established and you’re looking at removal, not just cleaning.
- Assuming a slab leak is clean water. Water traveling under a slab or through a foundation crack picks up soil bacteria and becomes Category 2 or worse. Full containment matters even when the water looked clear at the source.
- Using residential dehumidifiers on a flood-soaked home. A 3,000 square foot brick veneer house in Cypress or Pearland absorbs hundreds of gallons. Home units can’t hit the moisture mapping targets. Structural wood stays damp, and mold comes back inside the walls.
- Hidden crawlspace growth in pier-and-beam homes. Older bungalows inside the Loop and in the Heights often have uninsulated crawlspaces that trap humidity. Mold grows under there unnoticed for months before anyone ties it to the smell upstairs.
Pricing for Mold Remediation in Houston, TX
Houston’s market pricing for mold remediation breaks down by the size of the affected area, not by how scared the homeowner is, which is how it should work. Small jobs, like a bathroom ceiling or a closet wall, typically run $500 to $2,500. A single room with full containment and material removal runs $1,500 to $4,000. Multi-room or flood-related remediation throughout a home runs $4,000 to $6,500+. What moves the number: whether the HVAC system was contaminated, whether crawlspace or attic access is involved, and how much drywall and insulation has to come out. We put all of it in writing before work starts. No exceptions.

FAQs About Mold Remediation in Houston
Mold spores can begin colonizing wet drywall within 24 to 48 hours in Houston’s climate, and during summer months with sustained humidity above 70%, we’ve seen visible growth start in under two days. That’s faster than in drier cities like Austin or Dallas, and it’s why we treat post-water-intrusion calls as urgent, even when the water looks clean. If you’ve had a leak for more than two days, don’t wait to call (325) 550-1783 for an assessment.
Category 1 is clean water from a supply line or faucet. Category 2 carries contaminants, like washing machine discharge or sump pump water. Category 3 is grossly contaminated, like bayou floodwater, sewage, or standing water from a storm. In Houston, any floodwater from Brays Bayou, Buffalo Bayou, or street flooding is Category 3 by default. That changes the remediation protocol significantly: more containment, more material removal, and stricter drying standards. Call us and we’ll classify it correctly before any work begins.
Fans alone won’t dry a flooded slab foundation in Houston. Slab-on-grade construction traps moisture between the concrete and finished flooring, and Houston’s clay soil holds water against the slab for weeks. You need professional-grade dehumidification, targeted air movement, and moisture mapping to confirm the slab and surrounding materials are actually dry. We use Dri-Eaz and XPOWER equipment and document readings throughout the process so you’re not guessing.
In Meyerland and Braeswood, along Brays Bayou, many homes have flooded multiple times over the past two decades. Even homes that have been elevated retain lower-wall cavities, garages, and crawlspaces that sit below flood elevation. When floodwater gets into those spaces, even briefly, moisture wicks up through drywall and insulation. Without proper remediation after each event, mold gains a foothold that survives in the framing. We’ve worked on homes there that needed remediation after their third or fourth flood event, and we know which building styles are most vulnerable. If your Meyerland home took on water, call (325) 550-1783 before mold becomes a structural problem.
Houston doesn’t require a separate mold remediation license for the city itself, but Texas does require that mold assessors and remediators in commercial and rental properties be licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. For single-family, owner-occupied homes, licensing rules are looser, but the work should always follow IICRC standards for containment, removal, and verification. At Keegan Restoration Houston, we run every job to those standards and document everything, because it protects both you and your insurance claim. If you’re unsure what applies to your situation, call us and we’ll walk you through it.
