1. Address the moisture source
Remediation is unlikely to hold if the underlying leak, condensation, or water intrusion continues. The source may need to be corrected before or alongside the mold work.
2. Determine the scope
For projects that require regulated mold assessment in Texas, assessment and remediation are separate roles. An independent assessment professional may define the remediation protocol.
3. Prepare and contain the work area
The project-specific approach may include controlled work areas and procedures intended to limit the spread of contamination during remediation.
4. Remove or clean affected materials
What can be cleaned and what must be removed depends on the materials, contamination, protocol, and project conditions.
5. Complete project requirements
Larger regulated projects may have notification and documentation requirements. The final sequence depends on the project and applicable Texas rules.
