A mold inspection or assessment is not the same service as mold remediation. Assessment focuses on evaluating the problem and, when applicable, defining a remediation protocol. Remediation focuses on cleaning, removing, sanitizing, demolishing, or otherwise treating mold-contaminated matter.
Texas regulates these activities and separates assessment and remediation roles in regulated work. That makes it important to understand which service you are actually hiring.

What an Assessment Does
Assessment can include visual inspection, investigation of moisture conditions, sampling when appropriate, and development of a remediation protocol for a regulated project.
Testing to identify a mold species is not automatically required before every cleanup or remediation project.
What a Remediator Does
Remediation carries out the work needed to address mold-contaminated materials according to the applicable project scope and, when required, the assessment protocol.
The remediation side of the project may include containment, material removal, cleaning, and other controlled work practices.
Why Texas Separates the Roles
Texas rules are designed to avoid conflicts in regulated projects by separating the party that defines remediation criteria from the party that performs the remediation.
Always verify current requirements with TDLR when a project may fall under state mold regulations.
