Customer called about “a little mold”…
I walked in and found it everywhere.

Not visible at first—but once I hit it with the right light angle, the entire floor was covered.

Humidity inside the house? Over 70%.
Cause: improperly installed HVAC system.

New home. Family just moved in.
And this is what they’re dealing with.

This is why HVAC isn’t just comfort—it’s health.

Inside the containment.

This is what it looks like from the inside once everything is up and running. Negative air in place, dehumidifier running, and additional dust barriers set up in areas like the master closet and bathroom to keep everything controlled. There are a few more things that didn’t make it into the video—an extra air scrubber in the master bedroom running in recirculation mode, another negative air machine ventilating through the master bath window, inside the master bath, and designated area where all of our tools are staged.

Team is working in full PPE, following proper protocols, and we’re double-bagging and sealing debris before it leaves the containment.

(And yeah… I tried to walk in real quick without full PPE—my guys weren’t having it. Got kicked right back out 😄)

You never know whats in your walls…

Mold growth indoors isn’t just a cosmetic issue — it can release mycotoxins, toxic compounds that may affect the respiratory system, immune response, and even neurological health. Prolonged exposure can trigger allergies, asthma, fatigue, and other chronic symptoms. Regular inspection and proper remediation are essential to maintaining a safe, healthy living environment.

Earlier this year, the homeowners had water damage and thought everything was properly dried.
Months later, they noticed something wasn’t right and called a construction company they trusted to take a closer look.
When the contractor opened the back and bottom panels behind the kitchen cabinets, they discovered severe mold contamination — probably one of the worst I’ve seen in Houston.
They removed some of the panels and kept them sealed for evidence for their insurance, which was the right call.
They immediately stopped the work and called us for proper containment.
We’ve now isolated the area and installed an air scrubber inside to keep it safe until the homeowner decides on the next steps.
A good reminder: even after water damage is “fixed,” it’s smart to test or inspect for mold later. Hidden growth can stay unnoticed for months.
