Mold in Schools and Daycares: Essential Safety Tips

Mold in Schools and Daycare Centers — What Administrators Should Know

Indoor air quality is critical in environments where children, teachers, and staff spend hours each day. Mold in schools or daycares isn’t just a maintenance issue — it’s a health and liability concern that must be handled correctly.

At Mold Consultant Group, we help administrators across Montgomery, The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe, Willis, Tomball, Magnolia, and Cypress identify and manage mold concerns in educational settings — from testing and assessment to clearance documentation.

🏫 Why Schools and Childcare Centers Are Vulnerable to Mold

• High humidity and poor ventilation in older buildings

• Leaks or plumbing issues in restrooms and kitchens

• Roof problems or improper drainage

• HVAC condensation that goes unnoticed

• High occupant turnover and activity levels that create moisture

Mold often starts small and spreads silently — especially in storage closets, crawlspaces, or ceiling voids.

🫁 Health Risks for Children and Staff

Children are more sensitive to indoor mold exposure, which can trigger:

• Asthma attacks and allergic reactions

• Chronic coughing, fatigue, or headaches

• Concentration or behavioral issues linked to poor air quality

Teachers and staff may also experience absenteeism or long-term health effects from ongoing exposure.

🔍 What We Provide for Schools & Facilities

As licensed mold assessment consultants, we offer:

• Visual inspections and moisture mapping

• Air quality testing in classrooms, common areas, and HVAC systems

• Surface sampling where needed

• Detailed mold assessment reports with findings and recommendations

• Guidance on selecting a licensed remediation contractor (if required)

• Clearance testing and Certificates of Mold Damage Remediation (CMDRs)

We work discreetly and professionally to minimize disruption and ensure compliance.

📜 Regulatory Considerations

In Texas, mold remediation over 25 square feet in a public or commercial building must:

• Be guided by a licensed mold consultant

• Follow TDLR regulations

• Pass post-remediation verification and documentation

Failure to follow these rules can result in fines, lawsuits, or even closures.

🧭 Our Process Is Safe, Transparent & Kid-Friendly

We coordinate with school leadership, facility managers, and maintenance teams to:

• Schedule testing around school hours

• Prioritize safety and privacy

• Deliver fast, accurate lab results

• Provide documentation that meets state and insurance requirements
