Why Mold Is Common Along the 290 East Corridor
Bastrop County, north of the Colorado River, lies in a zone between the Hill Country cedar and post oak belt. In this area, the soil retains moisture after rain, and crawl spaces beneath older homes often lack vapor barriers. When soil remains damp for extended periods, moisture is drawn upward into subfloor framing and floor joists.
Elgin has seen the construction of many new homes recently. These new builds may look fine externally while HVAC systems are still being adjusted, causing humidity to get trapped in attics and wall cavities. Condensation on HVAC components is a frequent source of attic mold in newer homes.
What We Remediate
We address mold issues wherever they appear in residential and light commercial buildings in the Elgin area:
- Crawl space and subfloor remediation: Works for pier-and-beam and slab foundations with moisture concerns
- Bathroom, kitchen, and laundry mold: Stemming from chronic leaks or inadequate ventilation
- Attic mold: Due to condensation on roof decking or poor soffit ventilation
- Drywall and framing removal: Following roof leaks, plumbing failures, or stormwater intrusion
- HVAC cabinet mold: Occurring when spores colonize near condensate drain pans
See our containment-first project arc for a comprehensive breakdown of the steps in our remediation process.
Our Process
We follow a consistent process on every project, ensuring safety and efficiency.
- Visual inspection and moisture evaluation: Our team identifies visible growth and uses moisture meters to detect hidden damp areas behind walls or under floors.
- Containment: Poly barriers and negative air pressure systems keep spores contained, preventing them from spreading.
- Removal of affected materials: Contaminated drywall, insulation, framing, or flooring that can't be cleaned is removed and disposed of per Texas regulations.
- Antimicrobial surface treatment: We apply EPA-registered antimicrobials to remaining structures before reconstruction begins.
- HEPA air scrubbing: HEPA-filtered air scrubbers operate throughout the project to reduce airborne spore counts.
- Final visual review and written documentation: A final walkthrough is conducted, with written records provided for your files.
When post-remediation verification or a formal written protocol is necessary, we coordinate with independent licensed Mold Assessment Consultants, as required by Texas law to be separate from the remediation contractor.
