Restoration work we handle
Why Marsh Water Damage San Antonio Is Selma’s Preferred Mold Remediation Company
Selma homeowners call us because we’ve handled the exact failure this city keeps producing: slab leaks and drainage problems on clay soil that turn into hidden mold inside weeks. The pattern is familiar to us. A water line under the kitchen floor fails, water wicks through the slab, and the homeowner doesn’t see a thing until baseboards start staining or a musty smell settles into the open-plan living area. We’ve done enough of these in Selma to know where to look first.
Every Selma job is handled under the Threshold Verified standard. That means the technician coming to your door has passed a background check, had their identity verified, and you receive their name and photo before they arrive. When they knock, they show a photo ID badge. Every time. We built this because opening your door to a stranger during a mold scare is its own kind of stress, and homeowners here deserve to know exactly who’s walking in.
Our Mold Remediation team carries credentials from the IICRC, RIA, and IFA, and runs commercial-grade Dri-Eaz and Phoenix equipment. Tobias Reyner leads our restoration crews. He’s built the team’s approach around one rule: write the price down before any work starts, and stand behind it in writing. It’s printed on the work order.
Mold Inspection in Selma
Mold Inspection in Selma starts with a question most contractors skip: where is the water coming from? In a city built on former farmland with clay-heavy soils, the answer is often a slab leak, a grading problem, or failed drainage, not a simple plumbing fixture. We inspect with moisture meters, thermal imaging where needed, and air sampling when the situation calls for it. You get a written report showing moisture readings, visual findings, and a remediation scope with a dollar figure attached. Expect to pay $250 to $450 for a standard single-family inspection in Selma. If you’re selling a home near Retama or off Lookout Road, that inspection report is worth every dollar at closing.
Moisture Mapping on Slab Floors
Vinyl plank and tile hide moisture beautifully. On Selma’s slab-on-grade homes, water moves laterally under the flooring and feeds mold for weeks before anyone notices. We map moisture across the slab so we know the full footprint of the problem, not just the visible patch.
Post-Remediation Clearance Testing
After remediation, you want proof the air is clean. We run clearance testing and give you a written pass/fail result. No vague assurances. If it doesn’t pass, we keep working under the 365-Day Done Right Promise until it does.
Mold Removal Specialist in Selma
A Mold Removal Specialist in Selma does more than spray bleach and paint over stains. The job involves containment, negative air pressure, removal of affected drywall and insulation, antimicrobial treatment, and drying the structure back to pre-loss moisture levels. In Selma’s open-plan homes, containment is the part that matters most. Spores travel fast through a 2,400-square-foot open floor plan, and cutting corners on containment spreads the problem instead of solving it.
Typical mold removal in Selma runs $1,800 to $3,500 for a contained area like a bathroom, closet, or laundry room. Whole-room and multi-room jobs with HVAC involvement run $4,000 to $6,500. You’ll get the exact number in writing before we start, and that number does not change unless we find something you haven’t been told about, in which case we stop and put the new scope in writing too.
Containment and Negative Air
Plastic sheeting, taped seams, and a HEPA-scrubbed negative air machine keep spores from migrating while we work. This is standard on every Selma job, not an upsell.
HVAC and Ductwork
Oversized open-plan duct runs in 2000s-era Selma homes often harbor spores after a mold event. We inspect the ductwork and recommend cleaning or pack-out when it’s needed. Skipping this step is the most common reason mold returns.

AfterCommon Mold Remediation Problems We See in Selma Homes
- Hidden moisture under vinyl plank. Slab-on-grade construction means water from a foundation leak wicks under the flooring and feeds mold out of sight. By the time you smell it, the colony is established. Moisture mapping finds it first.
- Mold in open-plan living areas after a slab leak. A failed water line under the kitchen floor spreads category 1 water across the main level fast. Air movers and a Dri-Eaz dehumidifier get it dry, but the drywall needs containment and antimicrobial treatment before it’s safe.
- Recontamination from uncleaned HVAC ducts. Homes built after 2000 have long duct runs sized for open floor plans. Spores settle in the ducts during a mold event and recirculate for months if the ductwork isn’t addressed.
- Reusing category 2 drywall without treatment. Water from a foundation-related leak is category 2. Cutting out the wet drywall without proper containment and antimicrobial work leaves mold spores behind, and the problem comes back in six weeks.

FAQs About Mold Remediation in Selma
Mold returns in Selma homes because the moisture source was never fully resolved, or because hidden moisture under slab floors was missed during the first job. On slab-on-grade construction, water wicks laterally under vinyl plank and tile, feeding mold for weeks after the visible area is cleaned. A proper remediation job starts with moisture mapping, fixes the water source first, and then treats the affected materials. Call (325) 252-3917 for an inspection that finds what the last contractor left behind.
Mold can begin growing within 24 to 48 hours in Selma’s warm, humid climate. On slab floors, the clock starts when the water line fails, not when you discover it. If you’ve had a slab leak, a storm backup, or appliance overflow, call us immediately. We’ll set up containment and drying before the spores get a foothold. The local number is (325) 252-3917.
For contained mold removal in a bathroom, closet, or laundry room, most Selma homeowners can stay in the house while we work behind plastic containment. For whole-room jobs involving multiple rooms or significant HVAC contamination, we recommend temporarily relocating, especially for children, older adults, or anyone with respiratory issues. We’ll tell you honestly before work starts, in writing.
Yes. Selma’s housing stock is predominantly single-family homes built after 2000 with brick or stone veneer, composition shingle roofs, and modern interior finishes. We match drywall texture, paint sheen, flooring profiles, and trim profiles to your specific home. The goal is that after remediation, you can’t tell where the repair was made. It’s part of the written scope before we start.
An IICRC-certified mold inspection in Selma includes a visual assessment, moisture readings throughout the affected area, a check of the HVAC system, and a written report with photos, moisture levels, and a remediation scope. For slab-on-grade homes, we pay particular attention to under-flooring moisture. The report costs $250 – $450 and gives you everything you need to make a decision. Call (325) 252-3917 to schedule one.
