Mold in a San Antonio home is a problem that multiplies quietly. The humidity that settles over Bexar County from May through October pushes mold spores into drywall, baseboards, and bathroom ceilings faster than most homeowners realize. Wendell Restoration San Antonio has handled Mold Remediation in San Antonio since 2006, which means we’ve seen how quickly a small patch behind a toilet becomes a wall cavity full of growth. Blake Sorensen leads our team under IICRC standards, and we answer every call with a live person, 24/7. You’ll get a written price before any work starts, and a real arrival time you can track. Call (325) 413-9949 and you’ll speak to someone who can tell you what to do right now.
Mold Removal Service
Mold Removal Service is the physical removal of visible mold growth from surfaces like drywall, wood framing, tile grout, and insulation. In San Antonio, you typically need this when mold has spread beyond a small bathroom patch into porous materials that can’t simply be wiped clean. Wendell Restoration San Antonio handles removal under IICRC protocol, which means we contain the affected area so spores don’t spread through your HVAC system while we work. Basic mold removal service in San Antonio typically runs $1,200 to $3,500 depending on how much drywall has to come out and whether the mold is behind cabinets or vanities.
Containment and Negative Air
Before we pull a single piece of drywall, we seal the work area with plastic sheeting and run a HEPA-filtered negative air machine. This keeps mold spores from drifting into your living room, kitchen, or bedrooms. In San Antonio’s older homes, where return air ducts often run through closets, this step matters more than most companies admit.
Material Removal and Bagging
Moldy drywall, insulation, and carpet pad get cut out, bagged, and removed from the home through the shortest path possible. We photograph everything before and after so you see exactly what was removed and why. You get those photos by text while we’re still on site.
Restoration work we handle
Mold Remediation Services
Mold Remediation Services go further than surface removal by addressing the moisture source that let mold grow in the first place, then treating the area to prevent regrowth. In San Antonio, that almost always means finding where humidity, a roof leak, or a slow plumbing drip fed the spores. Wendell Restoration San Antonio pairs every mold remediation job with a written scope and a Mold Remediation cost guide upfront, so you know the full cost before any tool comes off the truck. Full remediation services in San Antonio typically run $2,500 to $6,000 for a single room, and $6,000 to $12,000 when multiple rooms or HVAC ducting are involved.
Moisture Source Correction
If the source is a leaking supply line or a failed shower pan, remediation is only half the job. We trace the moisture with thermal imaging and moisture meters, the same approach used on large commercial loss sites. The leak gets fixed, the wet materials get removed, and the structure gets dried before any rebuild happens.
Antimicrobial Treatment and Drying
After the affected materials are out, we apply an antimicrobial treatment to the framing and surrounding surfaces. Then we use professional-grade drying equipment, including Dri-Eaz and Phoenix units, following psychrometric drying principles to track the air’s moisture level so we know when your home is truly dry, not just surface-dry. This is the step that separates a real fix from a visible-surface cleanup.

Professional Mold Removal
Professional Mold Removal means the job is done by a trained crew with containment, HEPA filtration, and a written process, not a handyman with a spray bottle of bleach. In San Antonio, where mold hides behind baseboards and inside wall cavities, a professional approach is the only way to know the growth is actually gone. Wendell Restoration San Antonio sends background-checked, uniformed technicians who show up with a live arrival time you can track, not a vague four-hour window. Professional mold removal in San Antonio typically costs $1,800 to $4,500 for a standard bathroom or closet job, depending on how deep the growth goes.
HEPA Filtration and Air Scrubbing
A HEPA air scrubber runs throughout the removal process to pull airborne spores out of the air you’re breathing. This matters in San Antonio because mold spores ride the humidity and move through a house quickly once disturbed. We run air scrubbers during and after removal until post-remediation air samples come back clean.
Post-Remediation Verification
We don’t declare victory when the wall looks clean. We verify with moisture readings and, when requested, third-party air sampling. You get the results in writing, along with before-and-after photos showing exactly what changed. The number on your invoice is the number you pay.
Mold Inspection
Mold Inspection & Testing is the diagnostic step that finds where mold is hiding, how far it has spread, and what moisture source is feeding it. In San Antonio, you should request a mold inspection when you smell mustiness but can’t see growth, after a water leak sat for more than 48 hours, or before buying a home that has a history of water damage. Wendell Restoration San Antonio includes a visual inspection with moisture mapping in every mold assessment. A standalone mold inspection in San Antonio typically runs $300 to $600, and that fee is credited toward remediation if you hire us for the fix.
Thermal Imaging and Moisture Mapping
Mold grows where water lingers, and water lingers where you can’t see it. We scan walls and ceilings with a thermal imaging camera to find temperature differences that indicate trapped moisture. Then we map those readings with a moisture meter to know exactly how far the wet zone extends behind the drywall.
What the Report Shows You
After the inspection, you get a plain-language summary of what we found, where, and what it will take to fix it. No scare tactics, no vague language. If the problem is minor, we’ll tell you. If it’s serious, you’ll see the photos that prove it.
Mold Removal Specialist
A Mold Removal Specialist is someone who has handled enough mold jobs to know that every house behaves differently. In San Antonio, that means understanding how homes built in the 1970s in areas like Alamo Heights breathe differently than new construction in Cibolo or Bulverde. Wendell Restoration San Antonio assigns every mold job to a specialist trained under IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards, using professional equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, XPOWER, B-Air, and Injectidry. Specialist-led mold removal in San Antonio typically runs $1,500 to $4,000 for a contained single-room job.
Why the Person on Site Matters
The person cutting out drywall should know what’s behind it: plumbing lines, electrical runs, ductwork. Our specialists inspect before they cut, which prevents surprises and keeps the job moving. That’s why we send background-checked, uniformed technicians who arrive with a live tracking link, so you know exactly who is walking through your door before they arrive.
Blake Sorensen and the Relay Standard
Every Wendell job operates under The Relay Standard: book in a tap, live arrival time, photo updates, price in writing, text invoice. Blake Sorensen holds every San Antonio project to the same bar, whether it’s a small bathroom patch or a whole-home mold loss. The 365-Day Done Right Promise backs every repair in writing.
Black Mold Removal
Black Mold Removal addresses Stachybotrys chartarum, the dark greenish-black mold that grows on materials with heavy, prolonged water exposure like drywall, ceiling tiles, and wood that stayed wet for days. In San Antonio, black mold most often appears after a slow leak behind a washing machine, a roof leak that seeped into the attic, or a plumbing failure that went unnoticed during a vacation. Wendell Restoration San Antonio handles black mold removal with full containment, HEPA air scrubbing, and antimicrobial treatment. Black mold removal in San Antonio typically costs $2,000 to $5,000 per affected room, with the price set in writing before any work starts.
What Makes Black Mold Different
Black mold produces mycotoxins that can trigger respiratory issues, especially in children, older adults, and anyone with asthma. That’s why we never treat it as a cosmetic problem. The affected materials get removed and bagged under containment, not painted over or scrubbed with bleach, which does not kill the root structure inside porous materials.
When Black Mold Means a Bigger Job
If black mold has been growing for weeks or months, it often means the framing behind the drywall is wet too. We test the framing with moisture meters, and if readings are high, we dry the structure before rebuilding. In San Antonio’s humid climate, skipping this drying step is the most common reason black mold comes back within a year.
Mold Removal Contractor
A Mold Removal Contractor is the licensed professional you bring in when mold has spread beyond what a homeowner should touch, which is most visible mold in San Antonio’s climate. The contractor handles containment, removal, drying, treatment, and sometimes reconstruction, all under one scope of work. Wendell Restoration San Antonio is a mold removal contractor that puts the full price in writing before any work starts, then texts you a digital invoice you can pay from the link. Contractor-led mold removal in San Antonio typically runs $2,500 to $7,500 depending on the number of affected rooms and whether reconstruction is needed afterward.
One Contractor, One Scope, No Finger-Pointing
Some mold jobs in San Antonio end up split between a remediation company, a separate plumber, and a separate drywall crew. That means three invoices, three schedules, and nobody accountable for the whole result. Wendell handles the full scope, from moisture source to finished drywall, under one written guarantee: the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we make it right, with a free second visit if the repair fails.
Insurance and Documentation
If your mold damage stems from a covered water loss, your insurance company will want documentation. We provide photo-documented assessments, written scopes, and direct adjuster coordination so you’re not stuck translating a remediation report into insurance language. That documentation is included, not an add-on.
Bathroom Mold Removal
Bathroom Mold Removal is the most common mold job we handle in San Antonio, and it usually starts with the same three sources: a failing shower pan, a toilet wax ring that’s been leaking for months, or an exhaust fan that was never actually vented to the outside. Wendell Restoration San Antonio has opened up hundreds of San Antonio bathroom walls and found mold feeding on the paper face of drywall behind tile. Bathroom mold removal in San Antonio typically costs $1,200 to $3,800, depending on whether the shower needs to come out and how far the moisture traveled into the subfloor.
Shower Pan and Tile Work
When mold is growing behind a shower, the tile and pan often have to come out to reach the wet substrate. We do that work carefully and rebuild to a watertight standard. You see photos of every layer: what came out, what was treated, what went back in.
Ventilation and Prevention
If the exhaust fan is weak, vented into the attic, or missing entirely, mold will return no matter how well we clean. We check the fan’s CFM rating and confirm the vent actually exits through the roof. That’s part of the job, not an upsell.

AfterBrands We Service
Wendell Restoration San Antonio works with professional-grade restoration equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, XPOWER, B-Air, and Injectidry, the same brands used on large commercial loss sites. We’ve deployed Dri-Eaz and Phoenix dehumidifiers on hundreds of San Antonio mold and water jobs, and our technicians are trained on their proper placement and operation under IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards. For structural drying within wall cavities, Injectidry systems let us pull moisture from inside the framing without tearing out every square foot of drywall, which saves you money and keeps the job moving faster.
Whether you have a specific brand preference or any other make of drying or filtration equipment, we can help. Our team maintains and calibrates our equipment regularly, so the machine reading the moisture in your walls is one we trust. That attention to equipment is part of why we back every repair with the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing.
Signs You Need a Pro Right Now
- Musty smell that won’t go away. A damp, earthy odor in one room or closet means mold is growing somewhere you can’t see. In San Antonio, that’s often inside a wall cavity fed by a slow plumbing or roof leak.
- Discoloration on walls, ceilings, or baseboards. Black, green, or brown staining that spreads or feels damp to the touch is active mold, not just old water staining. Stains that return after painting are a red flag.
- Recent water damage that sat for more than 48 hours. A burst pipe, overflowing toilet, or roof leak gives mold the moisture it needs to start within two days. If the area wasn’t professionally dried, assume spores are present.
- Allergy symptoms that get worse at home. Sneezing, coughing, itchy eyes, or headaches that ease up when you leave the house can point to elevated mold spore counts indoors. It’s worth testing before symptoms get worse.
- Peeling paint or warped drywall with no obvious cause. When paint bubbles or drywall swells without a visible spill, moisture is coming from inside the wall. That moisture is mold’s front door.

How Much Does Mold Remediation Cost in San Antonio?
A typical mold remediation job in San Antonio runs $1,500 to $4,000 for a single contained area like a bathroom, closet, or section of ceiling. When mold has spread into multiple rooms or requires HVAC duct cleaning, expect $5,000 to $10,000. Black mold removal with significant structural drying often lands in the $2,000 to $5,000 range per room. What moves the number: how much drywall has to come out, whether the moisture source requires plumbing repair, how long the structure needs to dry, and whether post-remediation air testing is required by your insurance carrier.
A few things to watch for. If a bid seems low, ask whether it includes containment, HEPA air scrubbing, and antimicrobial treatment, because those are the steps that prevent spores from spreading through your house and coming back next spring. Wendell Restoration San Antonio gives you a written price before any work starts, and that number is the number you pay.
