Seabrook attics get moldy after storm rain gets under the roofing, when an AC drain backs up, or when humid bay air stays trapped under the decking. Fixing the leak comes first; then a separate assessor writes the plan and a remediation company removes insulation and cleans or replaces wood. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local mold remediation company in Seabrook.

What happens when you call
Your call is routed to an independent mold remediation company that covers the Clear Lake and Seabrook area. It will ask whether the roof has been repaired since the leak, where the AC equipment sits and how much of the attic seems affected. Under Texas law, a mold assessment consultant from a different company inspects and writes the protocol, which reaches you at least one calendar day before work. The remediation company follows it with its own work plan, gives you TDLR's Consumer Mold Information Sheet, and, for 25 contiguous square feet or more, notifies TDLR five days ahead.
Cost factors
Angi's Houston cost data shows typical mold removal at $863 to $3,329. National ranges from HomeGuide (2026) put a partial attic at $1,500 to $6,000 and a full attic at $6,000 to $15,000. On a Seabrook home, expect cost to track:
- Area of affected decking and rafters after a storm leak
- Wood that is soft and must be replaced
- Insulation removal and disposal
- Any duct or air handler cleaning
- The separate assessor's protocol and clearance fee

Seabrook conditions
Seabrook is a coastal city on Galveston Bay near Clear Lake, about 29 miles from Houston, with waterfront fish markets along Waterfront Drive and Pine Gully running to the bay. Hurricane Ike in 2008 brought a mandatory evacuation, storm surge that washed out streets, and power and running water outages that lasted up to a month for some residents. A house sitting closed and without air conditioning in that humidity for weeks is a setup for mold everywhere, including the attic. Even in ordinary years, bay humidity and AC condensation can keep attic wood damp. Tell the assessor about any past storm repairs, since patched decking and replaced vents are common places for leaks to start again.
Before the crew comes
- Get the roof repaired; Seabrook requires a permit for most roof repairs, issued by the Building Department at 1100 Red Bluff Road, (281) 291-5669
- Ask about the city's Storm Damage SOP and Recovery Permit if the damage came from a storm
- Read the protocol and confirm the clearance criteria
- Check both companies on TDLR's license search
