Denton gets the full North Texas range — spring hail and wind-driven rain, humid summers, and expansive clay soil that shifts slabs and stresses plumbing. Add older homes around the Square and thousands of high-turnover rentals near UNT and TWU, and hidden moisture has plenty of places to start.
Storm and roof leaks
Hail-damaged shingles and flashing let water into attic insulation and ceiling drywall long before a stain shows below.
Slab and plumbing leaks
Clay soil swells and shrinks with the seasons. Slow supply-line and drain leaks behind walls and under flooring are a classic hidden source.
Rentals and vacant units
Closed-up units, AC set too high between tenants, and small leaks nobody reports until the smell arrives.
HVAC and condensation
Clogged condensate lines and sweating ducts in attics during Denton summers.
Don't scrub, sand or bleach it — that spreads spores. Call and we'll test it first.
Mold inspection & testing
A mold inspection answers three questions: is there mold, how much, and where is the water coming from. The visit usually takes one to three hours, and lab results typically come back in two to five business days.

Written report
Plain English: what was found, where, and what to do — including when nothing needs to be done.
Mold removal & remediation
Bleach on a wall hides mold; it doesn't remove it. Proper mold removal contains the area, physically removes contaminated material and fixes the moisture so it doesn't come back. In Texas, jobs of 25 contiguous square feet or more must follow a written remediation protocol and be performed by TDLR-licensed professionals.
01
Confirm the extent of growth and the moisture source, and write the scope.
02
Poly barriers and negative air keep spores from spreading through the house.
03
Contaminated drywall, insulation and carpet are bagged and removed; framing is HEPA-vacuumed and treated.
04
Post-remediation testing confirms it passes; you receive documentation including the Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation.
Cost
These are average prices across the mold industry to help you budget — not SES quotes. Price depends on square footage, the materials that must be removed, containment, and whether the moisture source is still active.

The on-site inspection usually takes one to three hours. Lab results typically come back in two to five business days, with rush turnaround available.
If the mold covers 25 contiguous square feet or more, Texas requires a written remediation protocol and licensed mold professionals regulated by TDLR. Below that, a homeowner can legally handle it, but hidden growth is common, so testing is the safest way to know.
"Black mold" usually means Stachybotrys, which grows on materials that stay wet a long time. Many molds look black, and color alone doesn't identify the species. Any visible indoor growth is worth addressing, and testing sizes the remediation correctly.
Only if the moisture does. That's why every job starts by finding the water source and ends with clearance testing.
Yes. After remediation passes clearance you receive a Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation, which sellers can provide with their disclosure and which supports insurance and landlord records.
