Houston's humidity makes mold a constant threat in multifamily properties. Left unchecked, mold damages building materials, triggers health complaints, and creates significant legal liability. Professional remediation is not optional.
Visible mold is obvious, but hidden mold behind walls, above ceilings, and in HVAC systems is more dangerous. Musty odors, tenant health complaints (allergies, respiratory issues), and past water damage are warning signs. Professional testing ($300-$800) confirms presence and identifies species.
Professional remediation includes physical containment (negative air pressure, plastic barriers), HEPA air filtration, removal of affected materials (drywall, insulation, carpet), anti-microbial treatment of structural elements, and post-remediation testing to verify clearance.
Texas landlords have a legal obligation to address mold that poses health risks. Document all remediation efforts. Provide tenants written notification of remediation work. Failure to address mold can result in habitability lawsuits and significant liability.
Control humidity below 60% with proper HVAC sizing and maintenance. Repair water leaks within 24 hours. Ensure proper bathroom and kitchen ventilation. Use mold-resistant drywall and paint in high-moisture areas. Regular HVAC duct cleaning.
Small areas (under 10 sqft): $500-$2,000. Medium areas (10-100 sqft): $2,000-$10,000. Large areas (100+ sqft or HVAC contamination): $10,000-$30,000+. Insurance coverage varies — document the water source that caused the mold.
