If you’ve found mold inside a Houston home, the problem is almost always tied to moisture, and the fix requires more than wiping down drywall. Keegan Restoration Houston runs mold remediation to a written standard: a documented scope, professional-grade drying equipment, and a price that’s on paper before any work begins. We’ve been part of the Garrison Partners family since 2005, and every job is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise, a written one-year guarantee. A live person answers at (325) 550-1783, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you can talk to someone when you need answers, not a phone tree.
Mold grows fast in Houston’s humidity. Between spring rains, hurricane season, and the Gulf moisture that never quite leaves, the conditions for interior mold exist in almost every neighborhood. It starts behind a shower wall, under a sink, or inside an HVAC closet, then spreads into something bigger. We dispatch background-checked, uniformed technicians who document every job to support your insurance claim and leave the site clean. That’s how we work in Houston, and it’s how we’ve worked since the day we started. Learn more about our Mold Remediation in Houston.
Mold Removal Service
A Mold Removal Service is the physical removal of visible mold growth plus the cleaning of affected surfaces, and it’s the right call when you can see discoloration on drywall, baseboards, ceiling corners, or inside cabinets. Keegan Restoration Houston runs this as a contained job: affected areas are sealed off, HEPA-filtered air scrubbers are set up, and contaminated materials are bagged and removed rather than just painted over. In Houston, basic mold removal from a single wall cavity typically runs $800 to $2,500, while larger rooms and multiple affected areas fall between $2,500 and $6,000 depending on how far the growth has traveled.
Containment and Surface Cleaning
Before anything comes out, we set up negative air pressure and plastic containment so spores don’t get pulled into your HVAC system or the rest of the house. HEPA air scrubbers run during the removal, and hard surfaces are cleaned with antimicrobial treatments formulated for post-remediation use. The containment stays up until the work is done and the area passes a visual clearance check.
Material Removal and Disposal
Drywall, insulation, and trim that’s been soaked by mold or moisture usually can’t be saved and needs to come out. We cut back to clean, dry material, bag everything on site, and dispose of it according to local Houston solid waste rules. You see the scope before we cut, so there’s no surprise demolition.
Restoration work we handle
Mold Remediation Services
Mold Remediation Services cover the whole job: finding the moisture source, containing the affected area, removing contaminated material, cleaning what stays, drying everything, and verifying the problem is solved before we leave. Keegan Restoration Houston treats remediation as a restoration job, not a cleaning job. A standard single-room remediation in Houston runs $1,500 to $4,000, while a full attic or crawl space job involving HVAC components can reach $7,000 to $12,000 once containment, drying, and material replacement are factored in. For more details, see our Mold Remediation cost guide.
Source Elimination Before Surface Work
If the leak that fed the mold is still active, any removal work is temporary. We track the source first, whether it’s a pinhole pipe leak, a failed window seal, or a bathroom fan venting into an attic. The moisture source gets addressed before the mold work starts, and we put that in writing so you know what’s being done and why.
Drying and Verification
Once contaminated materials are out, the remaining structure needs to reach a dry standard we can measure. We use professional-grade drying equipment from brands like XPOWER and B-Air, and we document the moisture readings. Verification is part of the job, and the readings go into your file for the insurance claim.

Professional Mold Removal
Professional Mold Removal is what’s needed when the growth covers more than about ten square feet, sits inside wall cavities, or keeps returning after DIY attempts. Keegan Restoration Houston handles this with a written scope, proper negative-air containment, and technicians who work to IICRC standards for professional restoration. Most Houston homeowners spend $2,000 to $5,000 on professional mold removal in a single room; larger structural jobs with multiple rooms and visible water damage run $5,000 to $10,000.
When DIY Stops Working
Bleach and repainting don’t stop mold, and a bottle of spray from the hardware store won’t kill anything behind the drywall. If you’ve cleaned a spot and it came back within weeks, the moisture is still feeding it, and surface cleaning is just masking the problem. That’s when professional removal with containment and drying makes sense.
Equipment and Process That Actually Work
We run HEPA air scrubbers during every square foot of removal, not just on “big” jobs. Negative air pressure keeps spores from spreading through your Houston home during the work, and every tech follows the same procedure on every job. The process is written down, and the results are documented with photos and moisture readings before we call the job done.
Mold Inspection
A Mold Inspection is the assessment step that tells you whether you have a mold problem, where it’s coming from, and what it will take to fix. Keegan Restoration Houston performs inspections with moisture meters, thermal imaging, and visual assessment to find growth that’s hidden inside walls, under flooring, or behind kitchen and bath fixtures. Inspection-only work in Houston typically runs $250 to $600, and when you move forward with remediation, we apply the inspection cost toward the full scope in writing.
Finding What You Can’t See
Most mold in Houston homes lives where nobody looks: behind kitchen sink cabinets, under bathroom vanities, inside HVAC plenums, and above ceilings under leaking roof penetrations. We use thermal imaging to locate temperature differences that indicate trapped moisture, then verify with a moisture meter. You see the readings as we take them.
Written Findings, Not Just a Verbal Okay
Every inspection ends with written findings: what we found, where the moisture is coming from, and a recommended scope for the remediation. That document is yours to keep and share with your insurance adjuster. If you choose to proceed with Keegan Restoration Houston, the inspection gets applied to the project as a credit.
Mold Removal Specialist
A Mold Removal Specialist is a trained restoration technician who understands building science, drying science, and the conditions that let mold establish and return. Keegan Restoration Houston is led by Shane Pruitt, and every technician who steps into your home has been background-checked and trained on the specific process we run. Specialist-led removal for a typical Houston home runs $1,800 to $4,500 per affected area, with the price set in writing before the first cut is made.
What a Specialist Knows That Others Skip
Mold isn’t just a surface problem, and treating it that way is how homes end up re-contaminated six months later. A specialist understands dew points, vapor pressure, and how Houston’s exterior humidity interacts with air-conditioned interiors. That’s what drives the drying and verification steps, not just the demolition.
Accountability on Every Job
When you work with Keegan Restoration Houston, you know who’s in charge of the job and what standard it runs to. Shane Pruitt sets that standard: written price before work starts, a documented scope, background-checked technicians in uniform, and a full-year written guarantee. That’s the 365-Day Done Right Promise, and it applies to every mold removal we do in Houston.
Black Mold Removal
Black Mold Removal refers to the removal of dark-colored mold growth, often Stachybotrys chartarum, that appears in consistently wet building materials. It’s a common sight in Houston bathrooms, attics, and under-floor areas with chronic leaks, and it requires the same containment and professional handling as any other mold type. Black mold removal in a contained single room in Houston runs $1,500 to $4,000, while larger affected areas run $4,000 to $8,000.
Don’t Disturb It, Call First
Black mold spores release when the material is disturbed, so scrubbing it or cutting into the drywall without containment can spread spores throughout your home. Leave the material alone, shut the door if you can, and call us. We’ll get a technician out to assess it and put a plan in writing before anything gets opened up.
Removal and Source Control Together
Removing black mold is only half the job. The moisture source, whether it’s a pinhole leak, a roof flashing failure, or a condensation line, has to be corrected or the mold comes back. We include source identification and correction recommendations in every black mold removal scope we write for Houston homeowners.
Mold Removal Contractor
A Mold Removal Contractor is a restoration company licensed and equipped to perform removal work inside a finished home, not just a handyman with a spray bottle. Keegan Restoration Houston operates as a full restoration contractor: we carry insurance, run professional-grade drying and extraction equipment including Dri-Eaz and Injectidry units, and we put the entire scope in writing before work starts. Houston homeowners can expect $2,000 to $5,500 for a typical contractor-performed mold removal job, and $6,000 to $12,000 for structural remediation involving multiple rooms or crawl spaces.
What Separates a Contractor from a Handyman
A real mold removal contractor documents everything, follows containment protocols, and stands behind the work with a written guarantee. A handyman might wipe down the visible growth and leave the source untouched. The difference shows up in your insurance claim, your indoor air quality, and the condition of your home six months later.
Written Scope, Written Guarantee
Before any mold removal work begins, you receive a written scope of loss that details exactly what’s being removed, what’s being cleaned, and what the drying standard is. No verbal estimates, no price movement at the door. And when the work is done, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we return at no charge if the repair fails within one year. That’s the Garrison Standard, and it’s how we’ve run since 2005.
Bathroom Mold Removal
Bathroom Mold Removal is the process of removing mold from bathrooms, shower enclosures, vanities, and the wall cavities behind them, typically caused by failed caulk, improper ventilation, or plumbing leaks inside the wall. Keegan Restoration Houston handles bathroom mold removal with full containment protocols so spores from the affected area don’t drift through your Houston home during the work. Removing mold from a single bathroom typically runs $800 to $2,500; if the shower pan or wall cavity behind tile is involved, the price runs $3,000 to $7,000 with rebuilding included.
Beyond the Grout Lines
Mold on shower grout is often a surface maintenance issue, but mold at the base of walls, under the vanity, or on the back side of drywall points to a plumbing leak or chronic humidity problem. We check behind the obvious spots with moisture meters before recommending any removal work, and we tell you what the meter shows.
Ventilation as Part of the Fix
A bathroom in Houston that isn’t properly vented will keep growing mold no matter how many times it’s cleaned. As part of bathroom mold removal, we inspect the exhaust fan and vent path and recommend correction if the moisture isn’t actually leaving the building. Fixing the ventilation is cheaper than a second remediation.

AfterBrands We Service
We run Dri-Eaz low-grain refrigerant and desiccant dehumidifiers on jobs where the structure needs to reach a specific moisture standard before we start reconstruction. These are the same units used in commercial water damage restoration, and they pull moisture from Houston air that would otherwise slow your project down and let mold conditions return. Our technicians are trained on proper Dri-Eaz setup and operation, and we match the equipment to the size of the affected area rather than running a one-size-fits-all setup.
For air movement and containment, we use XPOWER axial fans and B-Air air movers and filtration equipment to keep air moving in the right direction during removal and drying. On jobs where water has traveled under cabinets or behind built-in fixtures, we deploy Injectidry systems to draw moisture out of tight cavities without demolition. Whether your mold problem involves a Dri-Eaz, XPOWER, B-Air, or Injectidry setup is less important than this: we use the right equipment for the job, and we document the readings to prove it dried.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Musty smell that won’t go away. A persistent earthy or damp odor in a Houston home usually means mold is growing somewhere you can’t see, often inside a wall cavity or under flooring. The smell is the first sign in about half the jobs we walk, and it’s worth checking before it gets worse.
- Visible staining on drywall, ceilings, or baseboards. Brown, black, or green discoloration on finished surfaces is often the visible part of a larger colony behind the material. Surface stains don’t spread on their own in dry conditions, so visible growth means active moisture is somewhere nearby.
- Recent water damage that wasn’t dried professionally. A pipe leak, roof leak, or appliance overflow leaves walls and floors wet for days or weeks even after the surface looks dry. If no one measured the moisture and ran professional drying equipment, mold has the conditions it needs to establish inside the cavity.
- Allergy symptoms that spike indoors. Congestion, coughing, headaches, or skin irritation that flare up when you’re home and ease when you leave can be tied to mold spores in the air. You don’t need to be allergic to feel the effects, and the symptom pattern points to your indoor environment.
- Mold that returns within weeks of cleaning. If you’ve wiped down a surface and the mold came back, the moisture source is still active and the growth is being fed from inside the material. Surface cleaning was never going to solve it, and each return shows the colony is established.
Our Process, Step by Step
We run every mold remediation job in Houston through the same five steps, and every step is documented in writing. That’s how you know what’s happening, why it’s happening, and what it costs. Written pricing before work starts. No exceptions.
- 1
Inspection and moisture assessment. We start with a visual inspection, thermal imaging, and moisture meter readings to identify the full scope of the problem. You get a written report showing what we found and what the remediation will require. The price for that remediation is put in writing before we touch anything.
- 2
Containment setup. We seal off the affected area with plastic sheeting and run HEPA-filtered negative air machines to prevent spores from spreading into the rest of your Houston home. The containment stays in place through the entire removal and drying process, and we verify the pressure differential before starting.
- 3
Removal of contaminated material. Affected drywall, insulation, carpet, and other porous materials that can’t be adequately cleaned are cut out, bagged, and removed. We cut back to clean, dry material and dispose of everything according to Houston solid waste regulations. You approve the removal scope before the first cut.
- 4
Cleaning and drying. Remaining structural surfaces are cleaned with professional antimicrobial treatments, and the area is dried using Dri-Eaz, XPOWER, B-Air, or Injectidry equipment matched to the job. Moisture readings are recorded and documented, and the drying continues until the structure meets the clearance standard.
- 5
Verification and warranty. The area is inspected visually and with moisture meters to confirm the remediation is complete. You receive documentation of the entire process, including photos and moisture readings, formatted to support your insurance claim. The work is guaranteed for one year under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
How Much Does Mold Remediation Cost in Houston?
Mold remediation pricing in Houston depends on three things: how much area is affected, where the mold is located, and whether the moisture source has already been fixed. A small bathroom wall or closet job runs $800 to $2,500. A full bathroom or single room with containment and drying runs $1,500 to $4,000. A larger project involving multiple rooms, crawl spaces, or structural components runs $4,000 to $12,000. Here’s the breakdown:
- Inspection only: $250 to $600, credited toward remediation if you proceed
- Single wall or small bathroom: $800 to $2,500
- Full room or contained area: $1,500 to $4,000
- Multiple rooms or structural remediation: $4,000 to $12,000
- Attic or crawl space with HVAC interaction: $5,000 to $10,000
What moves the price? Mold behind tile or under a slab costs more to access than mold on a drywall wall. Attics with blown-in insulation cost more because the insulation usually needs to be removed and replaced. HVAC duct involvement adds containment and cleaning costs. What shouldn’t move the price is the contractor at your door. Keegan Restoration Houston puts every price in writing before work starts, and that number doesn’t change unless you approve a written change order.
The best way to avoid overpaying is to get a written scope from a contractor who uses moisture meters and thermal imaging to actually find the problem. A contractor who gives a quote over the phone without seeing the job isn’t giving you a real number. Our estimates are free, and every one includes the written scope of loss.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mold Remediation in Houston
Mold remediation is the process of containing, removing, cleaning, and drying an area affected by mold so it’s safe to live in again. It includes finding the moisture source that fed the mold, removing contaminated materials, cleaning what can be saved, drying the structure, and verifying the problem is resolved. A true mold remediation in Houston job ends with written documentation, not just a visual walkthrough. Call (325) 550-1783 to talk through your specific situation.
Most mold remediation jobs in Houston take 1 to 4 days for the removal and drying phases, with an additional day or two if reconstruction is required. A small bathroom wall can be done in a single day, while a multi-room or attic job may take up to a week. Drying time depends on the material type and how long it’s been wet, not just the visible mold area. We’ll give you a written timeline in the scope before work begins.
Most Houston mold remediation projects fall between $1,500 and $6,000, with small bathroom jobs starting around $800 and large structural jobs exceeding $10,000. The price depends on the affected square footage, material type, and how much containment and drying is required. Keegan Restoration Houston puts the price in writing before work starts, and the estimate includes a free inspection. Call (325) 550-1783 for an exact quote.
We do, and we treat documentation as part of the job rather than an afterthought. Every remediation we run in Houston is documented with photos, moisture readings, and a written scope of loss formatted to support your claim. You deal directly with your adjuster, and we provide the documentation they need to process the claim. Many mold claims are covered when the cause is a sudden water event like a burst pipe or roof leak.
Mold can cause health effects, especially for people with respiratory conditions, allergies, or compromised immune systems. Reactions range from mild congestion and throat irritation to more serious respiratory issues with prolonged exposure. The safest approach is to treat the mold as a problem that needs professional removal and source correction, not to ignore it or attempt to scrub it without proper containment. We can assess the situation and put the scope in writing.
It’s the written guarantee that backs every mold remediation job Keegan Restoration Houston performs. If the repair fails within one year, we return and make it right at no charge, including a free second visit if needed. This is part of the Garrison Standard, and it’s in writing on every job, not a verbal promise. Shane Pruitt has run the company to this standard since 2005.
In most cases, yes, though we may recommend staying out of the immediate affected area during removal and drying. Containment keeps spores contained, and negative air pressure prevents them from moving through the rest of the house. For large jobs or if anyone in the home has respiratory concerns, we’ll let you know if temporary relocation makes sense. The goal is to finish the work with your home cleaner and safer than we found it.
