Rio Bravo Home Inspections

San Antonio's humid climate and older housing stock create ideal conditions for mold growth. With average humidity around 66% and regular rainfall, homes built in the 1980s and earlier - like the median San Antonio house - are particularly vulnerable to moisture problems. If you're concerned about mold, Rio Bravo Home Inspections offers inspection services in the area. A standalone mold inspection typically costs between $200 and $600, depending on your home's size and complexity.

Before you hire Rio Bravo Home Inspections or any mold inspector, it's worth knowing that inspectors who also perform remediation work face a built-in conflict of interest under industry standards. To protect yourself, choose an inspector focused solely on inspection. If the company you're considering also does remediation work, that's a red flag. Additionally, verify that any remediation contractor holds a valid Texas Mold Remediation Contractor License from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) - you can check this at tdlr.texas.gov. Before signing any agreement, ask whether the inspector or company performs both inspection and remediation services.
