Commercial Mold Remediation in Galena Park, TX

When you call

A local mold remediation company that covers Galena Park asks a short set of questions: what kind of building, how big the stained or moldy area is, what got wet and when, and whether people are working or living in the space. If the job will reach 25 contiguous square feet, the company needs a written protocol from an independent mold assessment consultant before it can start, and it must notify TDLR at least five days ahead. You will receive TDLR's Consumer Mold Information Sheet from each firm before any mold-related work begins.

Cost factors

• Size and location of the growth: open walls cost less than high ceilings, loading dock areas or the inside of ductwork
• How much material must be removed and hauled away
• Containment and air filtration to keep the rest of the building in use
• Moving stock, pallets or equipment out of the work area
• Two separate firms, as Texas requires: the consultant and the remediation company

Angi's Houston cost data reports typical mold removal at $863 to $3,329 for mold removal in general; a commercial project with containment across a large area can land well above that range. HomeGuide's 2026 national range for 300 to 1,000 square feet is $6,000 to $15,000.

Galena Park conditions

Galena Park is a small city about 13 miles from downtown Houston, east of the 610 Loop and just north of the Houston Ship Channel. Freeways, freight rail and heavy industry surround it, and the former Clinton community grew as a refinery center. Many buildings along Clinton Drive and Keene Street are industrial or service businesses with metal roofs, open warehouses and small offices attached. Humid air entering through dock doors, roof leaks over storage, and office AC units that sweat are common sources of moisture.

The City of Galena Park Permits and Inspections Department requires a permit before work on a structure begins, so check before rebuilding walls or ceilings. Dangerous structures and other code problems go to the Fire Marshal and Code Enforcement office.

Short checklist before work starts

• Fix or schedule the roof, plumbing or AC repair
• Clear inventory and equipment from the marked area
• Shut down any air handler serving the space, per EPA
• Confirm both firms on TDLR's license search
