Smoke and mold damage in Leander
Smoke and soot need dry cleaning methods before anything wet touches them, and odor usually needs the source removed, not masked. See the smoke damage restoration guide.
For mold, Texas lets unlicensed people handle visible mold under 25 contiguous square feet. Larger jobs generally need a licensed mold assessor and a separate licensed remediator (TDLR). See the mold remediation guide.
