Commercial Mold Removal & Mold Remediation Services in Greater Houston
Mold can grow on any surface where moisture exists. Since we live in an extremely humid climate, mold prevention is a serious issue, especially during the summer. Heavy rainfall can add moisture to an already humid environment, creating a prime breeding ground for mold and mildew in and around your commercial property. Without the proper knowledge and expertise, you shouldn’t attempt to take care of mold and mildew. You may end up spreading it around, making the problem even worse.
Luckily, Frontier Services Group provides commercial mold removal services to the Houston, Lafayette, and Lake Charles area. We can help you take care of any mold problem, major or minor.

Outdoor mold spores get released into the air and work their way inside in several ways. These include windows and doors, HVAC units, clothing and footwear, and even animals. Once they infiltrate a property, they can thrive in areas like leaky pipes and around windows.
What Property Areas Can See Mold Growth?
While any area that is affected by moisture can see mold growth, certain areas of a property are especially susceptible. These include the following:
- Attics
- Crawl Spaces/Basements
- Inside Walls
- Area Around Chimneys
- Furnaces
- Air Ducts
- Kitchens
- Underneath Sinks
- Foundation Air Vents
- Window AC Units
Many of these areas are out of sight. This is why it’s so important to know the number of a reputable commercial mold removal company. We won’t just remove the mold that’s in plain sight. We’ll track it down, wherever it is hiding, and do our best to leave your property mold-free.
How Does Mold Affect Health?
Mold exposure symptoms resemble cold and flu symptoms at first and include sneezing, itching, coughing, watery eyes, runny nose, wheezing, difficulty breathing, headache, and fatigue. After a while, these symptoms worsen, and they can be especially bad in an indoor environment. People whose immune systems are compromised and those with respiratory illnesses may be more affected by mold growth. Worse, certain molds can produce mycotoxins, which can cause more serious illnesses.
None of these are symptoms you want anyone who comes into contact with your business to be dealing with. Customers who connect unpleasant physical symptoms with your business may not bother to tell you what the problem is. They simply won’t return. Meanwhile, employees who are exposed to mold are more likely to exhibit absenteeism, and when they are physically present, they won’t be at their best. All of this leads to lost profit and productivity for your business, making it imperative that you know the signs of mold and deal with it right away.
What Are the Signs of Mold?
Mold can appear white, black, or just about any color. The texture may be like powder, cotton, or velvet. If you’re trying to determine whether something is just a run-of-the-mill stain or mold, the following are a few things to watch for:
- A musty or earthy odor
- Moisture without light
- Warping, cracking, or peeling of paint, drywall, etc.
If these signs aren’t enough, try applying a drop of bleach to the area. If it lightens in color after 1-2 minutes, you have mold. Also, keep in mind that stains don’t grow; mold does. A “stain” that gets larger over time is a sign that you need to call a trusted commercial mold removal company.
How Does Frontier Services Group Remove Mold?
When we arrive at a property for commercial mold removal, we follow a thorough, multi-stage process to ensure we track down every spore we can. Here’s what we do:
- We properly contain and ventilate the area or areas affected by mold. If necessary, we’ll use air scrubbers to capture loosened mold spores released into the air.
- We start to clean and disinfect your property. We’ll dispose of anything too moldy or damaged to be salvaged. Following that, we will apply fungicides that have been proven effective to your property.
- Once the mold has been removed and stopped from spreading, we’ll find the source of the excessive moisture that was responsible for the mold growth in the first place and repair it. Whether these fixes are minor, such as repairing a leaky faucet, or major, such as eliminating structural causes of moisture, our team is experienced and skilled. We pay close attention to detail so nothing is missed.
- Finally, we’ll encapsulate any areas that require it. If for any reason mold is unable to be completely removed from an area, the mold must be encapsulated to prevent it from further affecting your property. Typically we use paint or another similar material once the area in question is completely dried out. We’ll only proceed to encapsulation once we’ve found and repaired the cause of the moisture on your commercial property.
How Much Does Commercial Mold Removal Cost?
For obvious reasons, business owners want to know how much they’ll be paying before they request commercial mold removal services. Unfortunately, it is difficult to give an estimate without assessing the situation first, as the cost depends on many potential factors. Mold that grows in hard-to-reach places or that affects the structure of your commercial property will typically be more expensive to remediate. But keep in mind that the longer you ignore mold the worse it gets, and the worse it gets the more expensive it will become to remove.
