What to Ask Before You Hire Anyone on This List
Ask for the state mold remediation license number and check it against the TDLR license lookup tool before any work starts. Ask whether the remediation plan follows the IICRC S520 containment and clearance-testing process, and ask for a written scope of work, not a verbal estimate, before signing anything.
If your loss came from a sudden, accidental water event like a burst pipe, check your homeowners policy. Mold coverage is often limited or capped, and typically applies only when the mold traces back to a covered sudden loss, according to the Texas Department of Insurance. For a full cost breakdown by job size, see our mold remediation cost guide for Abilene. And if you’re not sure the stain you’re looking at is actually mold or just surface discoloration, our post on mold color and toxicity covers what color does and doesn’t tell you, per the EPA’s guidance on mold.
