Complete Mold Remediation Services
Our dry climate does offer some natural protection, but monsoon rains and old plumbing still cause moisture problems that lead to mold. Mold damages walls and floors, makes your air unsafe to breathe, and gets expensive fast if you wait.
At HTS, we’ve been doing mold remediation in El Paso for over a decade. We know this area, and we know mold.
After any time of water damage, we handle mold remediation the right way, using equipment and methods that work, and keep you informed throughout so you understand what’s being done and why.
What To Do If You Discover Mold
If you think you have a mold problem, timing matters, as mold spreads quickly. It eats away at walls and floors, releasing spores into the air that can trigger breathing problems and allergies if left unchecked.
Even small amounts of water from a storm or a pipe leak can grow mold within 24-48 hours.
Here’s what to do immediately if you suspect mold:
- Turn off HVAC and fans to stop mold spores from spreading through the air.
- Keep pets, children, and yourself away from affected areas.
- Don’t touch, scrub, or spray mold with disinfectants or paint. This can spread spores and make it worse.
- If you can find where the water is coming from (a leak, condensation, or flooding), try to stop it. Turn off the water, clear a drain, or close a window.
- Call HTS Restoration immediately for professional mold removal and remediation.
Keep in mind, DIY mold cleanup is dangerous. Without the proper containment and equipment, you’ll easily spread mold spores to other areas of your property. You’ll also risk inhaling spores and making any health problems worse.
Once you call us, here’s what happens next.
Our Mold Remediation & Removal Process
Professional mold remediation uses sealed containment and filtration to prevent mold from spreading to clean areas. We follow a proven, step-by-step mold remediation process designed to eliminate mold and prevent it from returning.
Mold Testing & Inspection Services
We start by finding where the mold is and where it’s coming from. We use moisture meters and special cameras that detect moisture you can’t see to locate visible mold and find hidden mold behind walls and in crawl spaces.
More importantly, we identify what’s causing the moisture so we can stop it and prevent mold from coming back.
Containment
Mold spreads through the air as tiny spores, which is why we seal off affected areas during remediation.
We use containment barriers and negative air pressure to trap spores in one place so they don’t spread to the rest of your property. Without containment, mold spores escape into your ducts and unaffected areas.
Air Filtration
HEPA filters capture tiny mold spores you can’t see that float in the air during mold removal.
We use specialized air scrubbers and vacuums throughout remediation to keep your indoor air safe while we work. This step protects your family from breathing in mold spores during the cleanup process.
Mold Removal & Treatment
Once contained, we remove mold-infested materials (drywall, insulation, or flooring) that can’t be salvaged.
We then treat the remaining affected surfaces with special products that kill mold and bacteria and prevent them from growing back. This combination of removal and treatment stops mold completely.
Cleaning & Deodorization
After mold removal, we clean and sanitize: walls, HVAC systems, fixtures, and even personal belongings. Mold also leaves behind lingering odors, so we use specialized deodorization techniques to eliminate those smells completely.
Mold Damage Restoration & Repairs
If mold damages your walls, flooring, or framing, we rebuild it. We either handle the repairs ourselves or coordinate with contractors, depending on the scope. Your property is restored to the way it was before mold took hold.
Final Inspection & Documentation
We perform a final inspection to confirm every trace of mold is gone, and your property is safe.
You walk away with complete documentation of all the mold removal work we completed. We work directly with your insurance company to close your insurance claim and make sure everything gets processed without delays.
That’s how we eliminate mold and stop it from coming back. Here’s what makes property owners trust HTS Restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are common questions we get at HTS about mold remediation.
Can I remove mold myself, or do I need professional help?
Small surface mold on non porous surfaces (like tiles in your bathroom) can sometimes be cleaned with proper protective equipment. But mold inside walls, your HVAC system, or covering larger areas need professional cleaning. If you attempt DIY cleanup without HEPA filters or containment, it spreads mold spores throughout your house. It also exposes you to needless health risks. Our mold remediation uses sealed containment, air scrubbers, and proper removal techniques to fully get rid of mold without spreading it.
What are the health risks of mold exposure?
It can cause breathing problems, allergic reactions, coughing, wheezing, eye irritation, skin rashes, and makes asthma worse. If you have a weakened immune system, chronic lung conditions, or mold allergies, you’re especially at risk. Long-term exposure to mold in your home can lead to even more serious health issues. If you think you have mold on your property, call us for a free inspection and we’ll start the mold remediation process to help prevent health issues.
How do I know if I have a mold problem?
Common signs of mold are musty odors that don’t go away, black, green, or white patches on walls, ceilings, or floors, peeling or bubbling paint, and increased allergy or respiratory symptoms indoors. Mold is often hiding behind walls, under floors, in attics, and inside HVAC systems. We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to pinpoint mold.
