Mold Remediation

It can be. Mold exposure is linked to allergies, respiratory problems, and skin infections, and it tends to affect sensitive individuals more severely. Left untreated, mold can also cause structural damage to your property and produce lasting unpleasant odors. Addressing it early reduces both the health and property risks.

Mold removal refers to physically taking mold out of a home or building, while remediation is the full process around it: identifying the mold, containing it, cleaning affected areas, using specialized mold removal products, replacing damaged materials, and confirming the problem is resolved. At WOW Total Cleaning, remediation covers everything from the initial assessment through final clearance testing.

The most common signs are musty odors that never quite smell fresh, respiratory symptoms like sore throats, coughing, or itchy eyes, and visible black, green, white, or blue spots or fuzzy growths on surfaces. If you notice any of these, even a faint musty smell, it is worth scheduling an assessment before the problem spreads.

We do not recommend it. Removing mold without proper training and equipment often makes things worse, because it can cause the mold to return and even spread to new areas as spores get disturbed. Professional remediation uses containment, negative air pressure, and HEPA filtration to keep spores from spreading during cleanup. If you suspect mold, call for an assessment rather than attempting a removal on your own.

Yes. WOW Total Cleaning is state-licensed by Texas as a full-service mold remediation company, and we hold IICRC and NADCA certifications. We go beyond the minimum state regulations to follow industry best practices for safely removing mold from homes and commercial properties.

Mold and mildew thrive in damp, humid environments. Homes in high-humidity areas, or anywhere with leaking pipes, roof leaks, or other water damage, are especially prone to growth. Because Central Texas humidity creates ideal conditions, ongoing moisture control is an important part of prevention.

Yes. We coordinate directly with your insurance company throughout the process and can help file your claim, working with them until your mold removal is complete.

Our focus is on preventative treatments, and that is how we stand behind our work. After removal, we perform clearance testing to confirm that the area meets the required standards, and we provide guidance on protecting your property from future growth.

As soon as possible. The longer mold sits, the more it can spread, damage materials, and affect indoor air quality. Calling early keeps the affected area smaller, as well as the overall cost and disruption. We offer 24/7 emergency service for urgent situations.

Cost depends on factors such as the size of the affected area, how far the mold has spread, where it is located, and which materials need to be cleaned or replaced. Because every situation is different, there is no single flat price. WOW Total Cleaning offers free on-site assessments and free inspections, so the best way to get an accurate number is to have us evaluate the property and provide a quote before any work begins.

It often depends on your policy and what caused the mold. Many policies cover mold that results from a sudden, covered event, such as a burst pipe, while mold from long-term neglect or unaddressed moisture may not be covered. We coordinate directly with your insurance company throughout the process and can help you file your claim, so you do not have to navigate the paperwork alone.

The timeline varies with the severity of the growth, the size of the area, and the amount of material that needs to be dried, cleaned, or replaced. Smaller, contained problems can move quickly, while larger cases that involve significant water damage or hidden growth take longer. After our assessment, we can provide a clearer timeline estimate for your specific property. For urgent situations, we offer 24/7 emergency service.

The process starts with an inspection to locate the mold and identify the moisture source. From there, we contain the area using negative air pressure so spores cannot spread, then clean and remove affected materials. We use HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers to capture microscopic spores, along with professional antimicrobial and decontamination products such as our SteraMist Binary Ionization Technology, which is designed to treat surfaces without leaving harsh residue. Finally, we test the area to confirm the cleanup meets required clearance standards.

Yes. The warm, humid Central Texas climate creates ideal conditions for mold and mildew to grow, especially in homes and buildings that have experienced leaks, flooding, or other water damage. Because moisture is so common in the area, mold can develop faster than many property owners expect, which is why early inspection and quick action matter. We serve Austin and the surrounding communities, including Round Rock, San Marcos, and many nearby areas.
