Mold problems in Austin move fast, and so do we. Wendell Restoration Austin has handled mold removal and remediation across Travis and Williamson counties since 2006, which means we’ve seen how quickly a small bathroom patch becomes a wall cavity problem in our humid climate. Learn more about our Mold Remediation in Austin. A live person answers when you call (325) 237-2088, and you’ll get a written price before any work starts. Our IICRC-standard crews show up with a live arrival time you can track, not a four-hour window.
Mold Removal Service
Mold Removal Service means physically taking mold off surfaces and out of materials where it’s growing, from drywall to framing to tile grout. You need it when visible mold is present or when a musty smell won’t go away, especially after leaks, condensation, or flooding. Wendell Restoration Austin handles removal under RIA and IFA standards, and most jobs in Austin run between $1,200 and $4,500 depending on area size and depth of growth.
Surface-Level Removal
When mold sits on non-porous surfaces like tile or sealed concrete, our technicians remove it with antimicrobial cleaning and HEPA vacuuming. The process usually takes one visit and most homeowners pay $900 to $2,200 in the Austin area.
Contained Area Removal
For mold inside wall cavities or ceilings, we build a containment barrier with negative air pressure so spores don’t spread through your home. These projects typically range from $2,500 to $6,000 and include disposal of damaged material.
Restoration work we handle
Mold Remediation Services
Mold Remediation Services go beyond wiping off what you can see. We find how far moisture has traveled, dry the structure, remove contaminated material, and treat the area so mold doesn’t return. You need this when mold keeps coming back after cleaning or when it has spread behind surfaces. Wendell Restoration Austin provides full remediation under IICRC protocol with a written scope and price before work starts, typically $2,000 to $8,000 for Austin homes.
Moisture Source Correction
If the water source isn’t fixed, remediation is pointless. Our crews identify the source, from HVAC condensation lines to slab leaks, before we touch the mold. This step is included in every Austin remediation we quote.
Post-Remediation Verification
After cleaning and treatment, we run air sampling and moisture readings to confirm the space is dry and spore counts have dropped. You get the numbers in writing, and we don’t call it done until they’re right.

Professional Mold Removal
Professional Mold Removal is what you hire when bleach and elbow grease won’t cut it, or when mold has moved behind walls, under flooring, or into HVAC ducting. You need it when the square footage involved is over ten square feet, per EPA guidance, or when anyone in the home has asthma, allergies, or immune issues. Wendell Restoration Austin sends background-checked, uniformed technicians with Dri-Eaz and Phoenix equipment, and Austin jobs typically cost $1,500 to $5,500 with full documentation.
HEPA Air Scrubbing
During removal, we run HEPA air scrubbers that filter mold spores down to 0.3 microns. This protects the rest of your home while we work and drops airborne counts before we leave.
Anti-Microbial Treatment
After physical removal, we apply an antimicrobial treatment to remaining surfaces to inhibit regrowth. The product we use is EPA-registered and safe for occupied homes when applied correctly.
Mold Inspection
A Mold Inspection & Testing means a trained technician comes out and answers two questions: is mold present, and is it the kind that needs professional attention. You need one when you smell something musty but can’t see it, when you’re buying or selling a home in Austin, or after a leak that sat for days. Wendell Restoration Austin charges $200 to $450 for an inspection, and that fee rolls into your remediation cost if you hire us for the work.
Visual and Moisture Assessment
Our technicians check known trouble spots in Austin homes: bathrooms, under-sink cabinets, AC closets, and exterior walls on the humid east side. We use moisture meters to find hidden damp, not just guessing by sight.
Air Sampling When Warranted
Some situations call for lab analysis, like post-legal dispute or health concern. We can pull air samples and send them to a third-party lab, with results in 3-5 days and a clear explanation of what they mean.
Mold Removal Specialist
A Mold Removal Specialist is someone who does this work every day, not a handyman who “also does mold.” You need one when mold is in multiple rooms, has been growing for months, or when a previous cleaning attempt failed. Wendell Restoration Austin’s specialists work under IICRC and RIA standards and treat every Austin job with a written scope first, usually $1,800 to $6,500 depending on containment needs.
Containment and Airflow Control
Specialists know how to set up negative-air containment so spores don’t cross your living room into the nursery. This isn’t optional equipment on big jobs; it’s standard operating procedure for us.
Source Disposal Done Right
Removing moldy drywall means bagging it inside the containment zone and carrying it out through the nearest exterior door, never through your kitchen. It’s a small detail that tells you we’ve done this before.
Black Mold Removal
Black Mold Removal addresses Stachybotrys chartarum, the mold species that most homeowners fear by name. You need it when you see black or dark green staining that’s slimy or sooty, particularly on drywall or wood that’s been wet for a week or longer. Wendell Restoration Austin treats black mold the same way we treat every mold job: containment, removal, drying, and verification. Austin projects usually fall between $2,500 and $7,000 because black mold often means deeper material removal.
Safety Protocol for Occupants
Black mold removal is a job for a trained professional with proper containment, not a DIY bleach project. Our crews wear full PPE and keep your family out of the work zone until air clearance comes back clean.
Whole-Room Treatment
Because Stachybotrys spores travel, we don’t just treat the visible patch. We scrub the air in the entire room, run HEPA filtration for 24-48 hours, and re-test before we call it done.
Mold Removal Contractor
Choosing a Mold Removal Contractor means choosing who you trust inside your home for days, not hours. You need one when the project involves structural repair after mold, insurance claims from a water event, or when the work needs permits and inspection. Wendell Restoration Austin is an independently owned and operated restoration company with crews who show up on time, with a price you approved before they started. Most Austin contractor-level projects run $3,000 to $10,000.
Written Scope Before Work Starts
We give you a line-item written scope of work before any tool leaves the truck. That means what we remove, what we dry, what we replace, and what it costs. No open-ended hourly billing on remediation.
Insurance Claim Coordination
If your mold problem came from a covered water loss, we document everything with photos and moisture maps, then work directly with your adjuster. Photo-documented assessments save weeks of back-and-forth.
Bathroom Mold Removal
Bathroom Mold Removal tackles the most common mold complaint in Austin homes, from shower grout to behind-vanity growth. You need it when caulk turns black, when the bathroom smells musty within hours after cleaning, or when peeling paint reveals dark spots underneath. Wendell Restoration Austin handles everything from simple surface treatment to full shower rebuilds, with typical Austin bathroom jobs costing $800 to $4,000.
Ventilation Fixes That Last
We don’t just remove the mold and leave you with the same bathroom fan that caused it. Our team checks CFM output and duct routing, and we can correct ventilation so the moisture that fed the mold stops recurring.
Grout and Caulk Replacement
Surface mold on tile often lives in failed grout and caulk. We cut out old material, treat the surface, and re-seal with mold-resistant products rated for wet environments.

AfterBrands We Service
Our drying and air-scrubbing setup is built around Dri-Eaz, the commercial standard for structural drying. We deploy their LGR dehumidifiers and air movers on every Austin remediation, the same equipment you’d see on large commercial loss sites.
We also run Phoenix restoration equipment, known for efficiency on Austin’s hot, humid days. Whether your system is Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, XPOWER, or something else, our technicians know how to run it correctly and verify the results with moisture meters.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Musty smell that won’t leave. That earthy, damp smell means mold is active somewhere, even if you can’t see it. In Austin’s humidity, an untreated source spreads behind baseboards within weeks.
- Dark spots on walls, ceilings, or baseboards. Discoloration that grows outward is active mold, not old staining. The longer it sits, the more material will need removal and replacement.
- Recent water damage that sat for days. Mold starts forming within 24 to 48 hours on wet drywall and carpet pad. If a leak was left for a weekend, the clock has already started.
- Health symptoms only at home. Congestion, headaches, or coughing that ease when you leave the house point to poor indoor air quality. Mold is often the cause, and it won’t get better on its own.
- Peeling paint or warped walls near plumbing. Moisture behind the paint means the wall cavity is wet. Wet cavities in Austin become mold cavities quickly, especially in older homes without modern vapor barriers.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Assessment and Written Price. A technician inspects the affected area, takes moisture readings, and gives you a written scope of work with a specific price. You approve it before anything starts, and the number on the page is the number you pay.
- 2
Containment Setup. We seal off the work area with plastic sheeting and run negative-air pressure so mold spores can’t travel to other rooms. This is standard on every job over ten square feet.
- 3
Removal and Disposal. Contaminated material comes out, gets bagged inside containment, and leaves through the closest exterior door. We cut back drywall and insulation until we hit clean, dry material.
- 4
Drying and Treatment. We run Dri-Eaz and Phoenix drying equipment and apply EPA-registered antimicrobial treatment to remaining surfaces. Moisture meters confirm the structure is dry, not just surface-dry.
- 5
Verification and Photos. We re-check moisture levels and air quality, then send before-and-after photos straight to your phone by text. You see what we saw, and what we did, with zero guessing.
How Much Does Mold Remediation Cost in Austin?
A typical mold remediation in Austin runs $1,200 to $6,500; see our Mold Remediation cost guide for details. Small jobs, like a bathroom ceiling patch or a closet corner, usually fall on the lower end. Whole-room remediation with containment, drying, and material replacement can reach $8,000 to $10,000. What moves the number: how many square feet are affected, whether drywall and insulation need replacement, how long the area has been wet, and whether containment is needed in a living space. The cheapest quote is rarely the best. Some companies bid low, then “discover” more mold mid-job and change the price. That’s exactly why Wendell Restoration Austin puts the full scope and price in writing before work starts. Call (325) 237-2088 for a free estimate with the same transparency.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mold Remediation in Austin
Mold remediation is the process of removing active mold growth, correcting the moisture source, and treating surfaces so mold doesn’t return.

Call (325) 237-2088 and we’ll walk you through what your specific situation needs.
Most Austin jobs take one to three days, depending on the affected area and how much material needs removal. Small surface jobs can finish the same day.
