What You Should Know about Mold Abatement if Your Houston Home or Workplace Has Been Flooded

In coastal areas like Houston and surrounding Texas communities, a storm doesn’t have to reach hurricane strength to cause flooding in many neighborhoods. Even if you don’t live in a floodplain, heavy downpours that last for a few days may saturate the ground and cause water to seep into your home. What’s more, even a small roof leak can lead to soaked drywall or ceiling tiles. If those materials remain wet for more than 48 hours, there’s a good chance you’ll need to enact a mold abatement plan. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency recommends that flooded indoor areas be dried within 24 hours to prevent mold growth.

Such a rapid drying-out may not be possible if rainfall continues for days. Moreover, in the wake of a storm, many homeowners will experience flooding or discover roof leaks, placing a high demand on cleanup and repair services, including mold abatement. This may hinder your mold cleanup efforts.

EnviroShield Has a Cost-Effective Solution

If you’ve experienced a flood event at your home or workplace, it’s important to provide adequate ventilation and dry out any soaked building materials as soon as possible. Then you’ll want to turn to EnviroShield for a professional application of Enviro-MT™, an innovative coating that eliminates mold and prevents it from coming back. One of the many important advantages of choosing Enviro-MT™ is that it can be applied to damp (not wet) surfaces for mold prevention as well as abatement. Our proprietary formula is effective because it deprives mold spores of the moisture they need to take root and thrive. It’s also likely to cost less than many mold remediation methods, especially those that involve tearing out and replacing drywall.

Additionally, unlike many mold abatement companies, we’ll provide you with a 10-year limited warranty against the return of mold when you have Enviro-MT™ applied by one of our approved Applicators.

There are many more reasons to turn to EnviroShield for protection against mold in your Houston home or workplace. Contact us today to learn more.

The rains came and went. The mold never re-surfaced. I felt confident enough to rebuild my basement for the third time. Now more than a year has passed, a wet year, one of the wettest recorded in local history and the walls are dry and there is absolutely no mold or odor and the dehumidifier that used to run relentlessly,…

I am asthmatic and extremely allergic to mold! Recently, I had to vacate my previous office space because of a severe mold infestation … Enviro-MT got rid of the mold and odor. But the best part was EnviroShield stopped any moisture from seeping through the foundation. I am now adding a workshop, bathroom and family room to previously wasted space.

The day after you came to our house and applied the first coat, my wife and I noticed the smell to be gone. We had a company give us a price on fiberglass panels costing $45,000.00 and they would not guarantee against mold or odor. My family and I can now go into the basement without becoming ill and have…
