Mold Inspections and Testing
When Should You Consider Mold Testing?
In Houston and Austin, TX, our naturally humid climate allows mold to start developing within just 24 to 48 hours after a water leak or moisture intrusion. The combination of high humidity, warmth, and limited ventilation creates the ideal conditions for mold spores to multiply rapidly — often before the problem is even visible.
👉 Bottom line: Immediate response is critical — if remediation has not started within 24-48 hours there is a good chance mold is already occurring.
