Mold help
Mold in Dallas homes
North Texas clay soil swells when it’s wet and shrinks in drought, and that movement can crack plumbing under slab foundations. A slow slab leak can grow mold behind Dallas baseboards long before water shows.
Hail is another source. DFW gets frequent large hail. A bruised shingle may let later storms soak the attic, growing mold above the ceiling.
Long, humid summers keep attic AC systems running nonstop. An overflowing AC pan drips onto drywall, and in Dallas apartments it can reach the unit below.
Homeowners, property managers, and business owners across Dallas, Collin, Denton, Tarrant, Rockwall, and Kaufman counties call us about mold all year round.

Found mold?
What to do when you find mold
Finding mold is stressful, but you have time to do this right. Acting in the first day or two keeps it from spreading.
Not sure how big the problem is? Call and talk it through with our crew.
Call (469) 430-2573What to do
Look for the water
Check above and around the mold for a drip, a damp spot, or a stain. Stopping the water stops the mold from growing.
Bring the humidity down
Run the air conditioning or a dehumidifier. The EPA recommends keeping indoor humidity below 60%, ideally between 30% and 50%.
Take photos
Photograph the mold and any water damage before anything is cleaned. Your insurance company may ask for them.
Clean small spots the right way
For a patch under about 10 square feet, the EPA says you can usually clean it yourself with detergent and water. Wear gloves, eye protection, and a mask.
Keep sensitive people away
Anyone with asthma, allergies, or a weak immune system should stay out of the area until the mold is gone.
What not to do
Don’t scrub or sand it dry
Dry mold sends spores into the air and through the house. Keep the surface damp while you clean it, or leave it for a pro.
Don’t bleach it and paint over it
Bleach can whiten the surface, but on drywall and wood it doesn’t reach the mold growing inside. Paint over mold peels, and the mold keeps growing underneath.
Don’t point fans at it
Fans blowing across mold carry the spores into other rooms.
Don’t run the heat or air if the mold is in the ducts
The system will blow spores through the whole house. Leave it off until it’s been checked.
Don’t buy a test kit first
If you can see mold, the EPA says testing usually isn’t needed. Spend the money on finding the leak.
Where mold hides
Where we find mold in Dallas homes
Across the Metroplex, mold usually traces back to a slab leak, a roof damaged by hail, or the AC system.
Under Slab Foundations
Shifting clay can crack supply and drain lines under the slab, wetting flooring, baseboards, and wall bottoms.
Attics After Hail
Hail-bruised shingles let rain seep in during later storms, soaking insulation and sheathing.
Bathrooms and Kitchens
Leaking shower pans, supply lines, and dishwashers feed mold behind Dallas tile and cabinets.
AC Drain Pans and Ducts
Overflowing condensate pans and sweating ducts in hot attics drip onto ceilings.
Flash Flooding
Heavy rain like the August 2022 storms can push water into homes, leaving wet drywall that grows mold quickly.
Apartment Leaks From Above
In multi-story buildings, a leak in one unit can spread into walls and ceilings below.
How we remove mold
How we remove mold
In Dallas homes, mold comes back fast if a slab leak, hail-damaged roof, or AC drain keeps feeding it. Finding and fixing that source comes first.
Texas licensing applies. Texas requires mold remediation to be done by a licensed mold remediator, regulated by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
We isolate and remove. HEPA air scrubbers and plastic barriers protect the rest of the home while moldy drywall, baseboards, insulation, and flooring are removed.
Drying comes before repairs. Dehumidifiers stay on until the readings are normal, then we rebuild what came out.

What can be saved
What can be cleaned and what gets replaced
In Metroplex homes, what we clean or remove depends on the material, how long the leak ran, and how far growth spread. The inspection confirms each item.
Tile, stone, metal, and glass
Usually cleanedHard surfaces clean thoroughly once the source is fixed.
Wall studs and roof decking
Usually cleanedFraming with surface growth is cleaned and treated.
Baseboards and trim
Depends on how deep it goesPainted trim with surface growth can be cleaned; swollen or rotted trim is replaced.
Drywall near a slab leak
Depends on how deep it goesThe bottom of wet walls is usually cut out; dry upper sections can stay.
Engineered and laminate floors
Depends on how deep it goesSurface mold on hard floors cleans; flooring that trapped water over a slab leak is replaced.
Carpet over a slab
Depends on how deep it goesCarpet wet from below usually grows mold on the backing and is replaced.
Furniture

Do You Need a Mold Test?
Usually not, if you can see the mold. The EPA says that in most cases, testing isn’t needed when mold is visible. What matters is removing it and fixing the moisture.
Testing can help when you smell mold but can’t find it, or to confirm a cleanup worked. There are no federal limits for mold levels, so results need someone experienced to read them. We’ll tell you whether a test is worth it for your situation.
Stop the water behind the mold
Other restoration services we offer in Dallas
Every job starts with a free inspection and estimate. Here’s how the 24 Hour Flood Pros team helps with each type of damage.
A fire leaves soot, odor, and often water from firefighting. Soot is acidic and keeps staining surfaces, so cleanup starts early. We remove soot, treat odor at the source, clean what can be saved, and rebuild what can’t.
More about Fire and Smoke Damage
Hail and tornado-season winds damage roofs across DFW. We dry the structure, remove damaged materials, and repair the ceilings and walls inside.
More about Storm Damage
Mold in offices, retail space, or apartment complexes needs a licensed plan and careful scheduling. We extract, dry, and clean on a plan built around reopening, and we document each step for your carrier.
More about Commercial Restoration
When you’re ready to rebuild, the same crew puts it back together, from drywall to cabinets to the final coat of paint, so there’s no second contractor to hire.

We remove moldy materials
Drywall, insulation, and carpet pad with mold growing in them are cut out, bagged, and carried out. That way we only remove what really needs it.
- 6
We clean and dry what stays
Framing, subfloor, and other solid surfaces are HEPA-vacuumed, cleaned, and treated. Then we dry them until they read close to a dry room elsewhere in the house.

Insurance and claims
Mold remediation and your insurance claim
Sometimes. Many homeowners policies cover mold when it comes from a sudden, covered water event, like a burst pipe or a water heater that gives out. Mold from a slow leak or ongoing humidity is often excluded, and some policies cap mold coverage at a set amount.
Your policy decides what’s covered, not us. We work with all major insurance carriers, including State Farm, Allstate, Liberty Mutual, Farmers, American Family, Travelers, and Nationwide, and we keep the paperwork clear enough that your claim doesn’t stall.
Report it soon after you find it. Waiting can make it harder to show the mold came from a sudden event.
If a claim stalls, you can file a complaint with the Texas Department of Insurance, (800) 252-3439.
What your adjuster will ask for
- When you first noticed the mold or the smell
- What caused the moisture, and when it started
- Photos of the mold and any water damage
- Receipts for any work already done on the leak
What we send them
- Date-stamped photos of each affected area
- Moisture readings showing where the water is
- A line-by-line estimate for removal and rebuild
- One point of contact for your adjuster

Dallas mold remediation FAQs
How fast can 24 Hour Flood Pros get to me?
A crew can be there within 45 minutes. We work 24/7, including nights, weekends, and holidays, so you can call the moment you find mold or a leak.
Is black mold dangerous?
Any mold growing indoors should be removed, whatever its color. The CDC’s advice is that you don’t need to know the type of mold to deal with it. Mold can trigger allergies and asthma, so people with breathing problems or weak immune systems should stay away from it.
Can I clean mold myself?
For a small area, yes. The EPA says a patch under about 10 square feet, roughly 3 feet by 3 feet, can usually be cleaned with detergent and water while you wear gloves, eye protection, and a mask. Call a professional for anything larger, mold in the heating and air system, mold after sewage or flood water, or mold that keeps coming back.
Do I need a mold test before remediation?
Usually not if you can see the mold. Testing is most useful when you smell mold but can’t find it, or to confirm the cleanup worked.
Will the mold come back after remediation?
Not if the moisture is fixed. Mold comes back when the leak, the drainage problem, or the humidity is still there. That’s why every job starts with finding the source, and why we dry everything before the walls are closed.
Do I need to leave my home during mold remediation?
Usually not. We seal off the work area and filter the air, so most people stay home. For large jobs, or if someone in the house has breathing problems, we’ll tell you in advance if staying somewhere else makes sense.
How much does mold remediation cost in Dallas?
It depends on how big the area is, what has to be removed, how hard it is to reach, and what it takes to stop the moisture. A bathroom wall costs far less than a whole crawlspace or attic. The inspection and estimate are free, so you know the cost before any work starts.
How long does mold remediation take?
A small area can take a few days. Crawlspaces, attics, and rooms that need rebuilding take longer. Your estimate includes a schedule.
Does Texas require a license for mold remediation?
Yes. Texas requires mold remediation to be done by a remediator licensed through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. Ask to see a current TDLR license before hiring anyone in Dallas.
