Mold remediation in Cibolo usually runs between $1,800 and $6,500 depending on how far the growth has spread and whether the moisture source is storm-driven or a slow plumbing leak. Most Cibolo jobs can be quoted and started within one to two days. If water has been sitting for more than 48 hours, call us at (325) 413-9949 immediately – mold colonization starts fast in our humid climate. Wendell Restoration San Antonio coordinates dispatch from our San Antonio metro office and our crews respond to Cibolo the same day.
We know Cibolo’s houses because we’ve worked in them. Steele Creek, Buffalo Crossing, Bentwood Ranch, and the older streets off FM 78 all show up on our work orders. The homes are mostly 1990s and 2000s construction on concrete slabs, and when Cibolo Creek jumps its banks or a spring hailstorm opens a roof, the water doesn’t just sit on the surface. It wicks up through slab foundations and into drywall, and mold follows within days. Our crews understand this pattern, which changes how we scope the work from the first moisture reading.
Why Wendell Restoration San Antonio Is Cibolo’s Preferred Mold Remediation Company
Our reputation in Cibolo comes from showing up when the work is urgent and putting the price in writing before we cut into a single wall. Homeowners in Cibolo call us after flash floods, hail damage, and AC condensate leaks, and they stay with us because of the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the work isn’t done right, we make it right, backed by a written guarantee on every single repair. Blake Sorensen holds every job to the same standard, whether it’s a crawl space off Weiderstein Road or a two-story off Cibolo Valley Drive.
Response time to Cibolo matters. Severe thunderstorms roll through the IH-35 corridor on short notice, and a damaged roof over a 2007-built home in Steele Creek means water is entering wall cavities before you can get a tarp on it. We dispatch background-checked, uniformed technicians with a live arrival time you can track, which means you know exactly who is walking through your door and when.
We follow IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards on every job and run professional drying equipment from Dri-Eaz, Phoenix, and XPOWER. Our crews use moisture meters and thermal imaging to find the water that isn’t visible, then document everything with before-and-after photos sent by text so you see exactly what we found and what we fixed. That’s the Relay Standard, and it applies to every Cibolo job we take.
Restoration work we handle
Mold Remediation Services in Cibolo
Mold Remediation Services in Cibolo start with finding the moisture source, because killing mold without stopping the water is a temporary fix. When a Cibolo home has gone through a flood or a storm-driven leak, our technicians classify the water category first – category 2 (contaminated) or category 3 (sewage or creek water) changes the entire scope. Cibolo Creek overflow after a heavy rain is category 3 in almost every case, which means affected porous materials like drywall and carpet get removed, not dried in place. We set up containment with negative air pressure, remove mold-affected material, treat framing and cavities with antimicrobial agents, and then run structural drying until moisture readings return to normal. A typical Cibolo mold remediation job with containment runs $2,200 to $5,800.
Containment and Air Quality Control
When mold is disturbed, spores go airborne fast. We seal off the affected area with plastic sheeting and run HEPA-filtered air scrubbers to keep spores from traveling to the rest of your home. In open-concept Cibolo floor plans, this step is critical – a hallway off the living room shares air with every bedroom.
Moisture Mapping and Drying Logs
We take moisture readings on every affected surface and record them in a drying log you can review. This is the documentation your insurance adjuster will ask for, and it proves the structure is actually dry, not just surface-dry. Skipping this step is the fastest way to get mold back within 90 days.

Professional Mold Removal in Cibolo
Professional Mold Removal in Cibolo addresses the visible growth, but the real work is in the hidden cavities. Homes built during Cibolo’s 2000s boom often used cheaper composition shingles that are now reaching end-of-life. When hail or wind tears through those roofs, water penetrates the decking and travels down wall cavities. Homeowners see a small stain on the ceiling, but behind that drywall we regularly find mold colonies running three to four feet down the wall framing. Removal involves cutting out affected drywall, bagging and disposing of materials per IICRC protocol, treating the exposed framing, and then drying the cavity completely. A Cibolo mold removal involving one or two rooms typically runs $1,800 to $4,200.
Crawl Space and Slab-Side Treatment
Cibolo slab foundations create a specific problem. When Cibolo Creek floods or a storm drain backs up, water doesn’t just run into garages – it wicks upward through the slab and into the bottom plates of interior walls. This trapped moisture creates mold at the baseboard line that keeps returning until the slab-side moisture is addressed. We treat these areas with antimicrobial agents and, where needed, install moisture barriers and dehumidification in crawl spaces.
Antimicrobial Application and Post-Remediation Testing
After removal and drying, we apply antimicrobial treatment to all affected framing and cavities. For Cibolo homeowners who want third-party verification, we coordinate with local environmental testing firms to take post-remediation air samples. Clearance testing confirms spore counts inside the home are at or below outdoor background levels.
Trusted Brands We Service in Cibolo
Our workshop carries a rolling stock of common replacement parts and materials for homes throughout Cibolo, which means less waiting on specialty orders. We run Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and Phoenix air movers on every drying job, following IICRC drying standards and RIA documentation practices. For crawl space work in Cibolo’s slab homes, XPOWER blowers and Injectidry systems allow us to dry wall cavities without tearing out more material than necessary. The equipment matters, and so does the documentation – every Cibolo customer receives a written scope of work with moisture readings recorded before, during, and after drying.
Common Mold Remediation Problems We See in Cibolo Homes
- Flash flood classification mistakes. Contractors who treat Cibolo Creek overflow as clean water will dry contaminated drywall in place. That leaves dried-in sewage residue and a mold problem that comes back within months. We classify every water source correctly, and for category 3 water, pack-out and replacement is the only correct scope.
- Hidden mold behind 2000s-era shingle damage. Composition shingles installed during Cibolo’s building boom are now aged and brittle. One hailstorm opens gaps that leak slowly into wall cavities for weeks before you see a stain. We moisture-map entire rooms, not just the visible spot.
- Slab wicking ignored. Many Cibolo homes sit on concrete slabs with no moisture barrier between the slab and framing. When groundwater rises after a storm, water climbs through the slab and into baseplates. Treating the wallboard without addressing slab moisture guarantees recurrence.
- Rushed summer storm drying. A contractor who dries for three days without proper moisture readings leaves enough residual water for mold to bloom within 48 hours of equipment removal. We keep drying logs with daily readings until every surface meets the dry standard, not a calendar guess.

FAQs About Mold Remediation in Cibolo
Mold colonization typically begins within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure when organic material like drywall, carpet, or wood stays wet. Cibolo’s humid subtropical summers accelerate this timeline significantly. If floodwater has entered your home, the clock starts the moment the water recedes. Our crews prioritize Cibolo flood-response calls and can typically have containment set up and drying equipment running within one to two days of your call. Call (325) 413-9949 as soon as water recedes.
Yes. Homes built during Cibolo’s 2000s expansion, particularly in Steele Creek and Buffalo Crossing, often used composition shingles that are now fifteen to twenty-five years old. Hail and wind damage opens small penetrations that leak slowly into wall cavities and attic spaces. You may not see a ceiling stain for weeks. By the time you notice it, mold has often colonized the back side of the drywall. After any significant hailstorm, a moisture inspection is worth the cost.
Water category determines what gets dried versus what gets removed. Categories 1 and 2 water can sometimes be dried in place if the drying starts quickly and contamination is limited. Category 3 water – which includes Cibolo Creek overflow, storm drain backup, and floodwater – is grossly contaminated. Porous materials like drywall, insulation, and carpet that absorbed category 3 water cannot be effectively restored and must be removed and disposed of under containment. Any contractor who dries category 3 material in place is creating a future mold problem.
It extends the drying timeline and demands tighter moisture standards. In a dry climate, surfaces can reach the dry standard in three days. In Cibolo’s summer humidity, the same surface may take five to seven days because the air itself carries moisture. We monitor outdoor humidity levels and adjust dehumidifier capacity accordingly, using psychrometric drying to track the air’s moisture content so we know when your home is truly dry, not just surface-dry. Rushing this step in Cibolo leaves enough residual moisture for mold to return within weeks.
Ask whether the scope addresses slab-side moisture wicking. If the contract only mentions drywall removal and antimicrobial treatment, it’s incomplete. Your written scope should name the moisture source, identify whether floor plates and baseboards show elevated moisture, and describe how drying will be verified with moisture readings. On slab foundations, drilling injection ports or removing baseboards to check bottom plates is sometimes necessary. Wendell puts all of this in writing before any work starts. Call (325) 413-9949 and we’ll walk you through it.
