Black Mold Removal in Cypress, TX
Stachybotrys needs sustained saturation to grow, so finding it is diagnostic: it means something has been wet for at least a week, probably longer, and frequently continuously. The remediation protocol is the same as for any significant colony, but the investigation into the moisture source needs to be far more aggressive.

Our process
What happens, step by step
- 01
Inspection & moisture source identification
We locate active moisture first. Remediating growth while the source is still wet is wasted money.
- 02
Testing & sampling
Air and surface samples establish spore counts and species before work begins, giving you a defensible before/after record.
- 03
Containment
Six-mil poly barriers, zippered entries and negative air machines keep spores inside the work area and out of the rest of the building.
- 04
HEPA air filtration
Negative-pressure HEPA scrubbers exchange the air in the containment continuously throughout the project.
- 05
Removal & decontamination
Non-salvageable porous materials are bagged and removed; salvageable structure is HEPA-vacuumed, wire-brushed or soda blasted and treated.
- 06
Drying & moisture correction
The cavity is dried to standard and the moisture source is repaired so the conditions that grew the mould no longer exist.
- 07
Clearance testing & rebuild
An independent hygienist samples the cleared space. Once it passes, we rebuild what was removed.
