Our Austin page reaches from the city out to Round Rock, Cedar Park, Buda and Bastrop, following the metro area's federal boundary. Each company met the listing bar, then got scored on the same fixed weights as every other page. Coverage sits next to each score and shows the share we could check. Unchecked items earn nothing.

What the evidence shows
Storm work sits near the top
Austin companies put storm damage close to the front: 9 of 10 document it, second only to water damage, which every site covers. Mold follows at 8 of 10, with fire and smoke and sewage cleanup at 7 of 10 each. Insurance claim help is stated by 9 of 10, and 8 of 10 advertise free estimates, which makes the first visit easy to book.
Timing and guarantees
4 of 10 describe a warranty. That leaves most of the list silent on it, so ask what they stand behind. 5 of 10 give a response time. 8 of 10 say they're open around the clock, and the others don't claim night service. If water is still coming in, check the 24/7 column. 9 of 10 name an industry standard such as IICRC S500, a claim we score as self-reported.
No listing is a franchise location.
Checking a company in Austin
The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation licenses mold assessment and remediation. Its License Data Search lists active mold licenses by name, city or county, so you can confirm the number in a minute. The Comptroller's Franchise Tax Account Status Search confirms the entity. We haven't logged TDLR, IICRC or EPA Lead-Safe checks for any Austin company, so each profile shows them as Not verified. The Texas page has the full set of state rules.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does mold cleanup in Austin need a licensed company?
It depends on the size. When we checked in September 2026, TDLR's FAQ said visible mold covering less than 25 contiguous square feet can in most instances be cleaned up by people who aren't licensed. For a larger area, get the company's TDLR license number and search it.
What does the Comptroller match tell me about an Austin company?
That its legal entity appears in the Comptroller's open data on active franchise taxpayers, plus the formation date we use for years operating. It says nothing about licensing, insurance or the quality of the work.
