Mold Clearance Reports & the Texas CMDR: Why You Need Both After Remediation

If your home or property has gone through mold remediation, the job isn’t complete until the work is verified and documented — officially. That’s where a Mold Clearance Report and a Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation (CMDR) come in.

At Mold Consultant Group, we help homeowners, buyers, sellers, and property managers across Montgomery, The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe, Willis, Tomball, Magnolia, and Cypress complete the mold remediation process the right way — with licensed testing, professional reporting, and certified documentation.

Here’s what you need to know about these two critical tools — and why they matter.

🧾 What Is a Mold Clearance Report?

A Mold Clearance Report, also known as post-remediation verification (PRV), is a formal document issued by a licensed Mold Assessment Consultant after a remediation project is completed. This report confirms that:

  • ✅ The remediation followed a written Mold Remediation Protocol

  • ✅ No visible mold remains in the treated areas

  • ✅ The indoor air quality is within safe mold spore levels

  • ✅ The area is safe for re-occupancy

This report provides peace of mind for property owners and often serves as the basis for issuing a Texas CMDR.

📜 What Is a Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation (CMDR)?

A CMDR is an official certificate issued in Texas by a licensed Mold Remediation Contractor or Mold Assessment Consultant. It confirms that:

  • Mold was professionally remediated in compliance with the Texas Mold Assessment and Remediation Rules (TMARR)

  • If applicable, the source of the mold (such as a water leak or flood) has been corrected

  • A post-remediation assessment was conducted and passed

  • The property is now considered free of excess mold

This certificate is overseen by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) and is the final step in the mold remediation process — especially in real estate and insurance contexts.

🛡️ Why These Documents Matter

✅ Proof of Proper Remediation

Both the clearance report and CMDR show that mold was professionally addressed and the property is safe. They follow both TDLR and IICRC guidelines — the gold standards in the industry.

🏡 Critical for Real Estate Transactions

Selling or renting? Buyers, lenders, and tenants often request these documents as proof that a previous mold issue has been resolved. Without them, a property can raise red flags during inspections.

📑 Insurance Benefits

Under Texas Insurance Code Chapter 544, insurance companies cannot use previous mold claims against you if a CMDR has been issued. These documents may also be required to close a claim or release payment.

🛡️ Liability Protection

If mold returns or someone alleges health issues, these documents help shield property owners from liability — by proving that remediation was completed and verified.

🧪 Our Mold Clearance Testing Process

At Mold Consultant Group, we follow a proven and compliant method to verify mold has been removed and your air is safe:

  1. Visual Inspection – We examine all remediated areas for mold or moisture

  2. Air & Surface Sampling – Samples are collected from treated and adjacent zones

  3. Lab Analysis – Results are compared to safe spore levels and outdoor baselines

  4. Final Report – A detailed Mold Clearance Report is issued, and if applicable, we help you obtain a CMDR

📋 How to Get a CMDR in Texas

To receive an official Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation, you’ll need:

  • ✔️ A licensed Mold Assessment Consultant (MAC) to perform the initial assessment and protocol

  • ✔️ A licensed Mold Remediation Contractor (MRC) to complete the remediation

  • ✔️ A post-remediation inspection to confirm the job was completed correctly

Once these steps are completed, your CMDR is issued — and your property is fully documented.
