SERVPRO of Wichita Falls

When you suspect mold in your home, you need two separate steps: first, a qualified inspector identifies what's there and where, then a licensed remediation contractor fixes it. Here's why that matters - a company that does both inspections and remediation has a financial incentive to find problems and recommend expensive solutions. That conflict of interest is why industry standards keep these roles separate. In Wichita Falls, where homes average 55% relative humidity and older construction (the median home was built in 1971), mold can hide in walls and crawl spaces. A standalone inspection typically costs $200-$600 in this region and gives you an unbiased assessment before any work begins.

SERVPRO of Wichita Falls can help you understand what you're dealing with. Once you have a clear inspection report, you'll know exactly what needs remediation and can hire a licensed contractor with a clean conscience. Before you contact any company, verify that any remediation contractor holds a Texas Mold Remediation Contractor License from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) - you can check their license status at tdlr.texas.gov. Ask whether the inspector will be the same person recommending the remediation work, and if so, get a second opinion before moving forward.
