Lone Star Pro Services

Customer called me to inspect and quote a job after their contractor failed clearance testing. At first, I was actually glad to see the area at least contained — and honestly, containment doesn’t have to look pretty. As long as it serves its purpose, that part can be okay.

But the longer I looked at the work, the more obvious it became that whoever performed this remediation had absolutely no understanding of what actually needs to be done on a mold job.

And this is not some complex medical/CIRS project. This is a basic water damage and mold remediation job. Even by standard water damage industry expectations, this is poor quality work.

You can judge for yourself in the video.

If the company or technician who performed this work sees this post, call me. Seriously. I’ll gladly explain what was done wrong and even show you how to do it properly. There’s nothing wrong with making mistakes or not knowing something — everybody learns. What’s not okay is doing this kind of work carelessly, without understanding the consequences, especially when families, kids, and someone’s property are involved.

This industry needs more education, accountability, and pride in workmanship

Some of you know me, some of you don’t.

My name is George, and I run Lone Star Pro Services here in Houston. Today I shared a few videos from one of our job sites to show what mold remediation actually looks like in the field.

To be honest, I’m not the best at Instagram.
But I’ve been thinking… there aren’t many mold remediators actually talking about what we do from our side.

You’ll see a lot from consultants, doctors, and other professionals—but not much from the people doing the work every day.

So I want to try and change that.

I don’t know how often I’ll post, but I’ll do my best to share real situations:
• what we look for
• how the process actually works
• what’s done right (and what’s not)

Mold can be stressful, confusing, and yes—sometimes expensive.
But the more people understand what’s really happening, the better decisions they can make.

If you’ve got a question, send it over—message me, record a video, or tag me.
I may respond with a video so others can learn too, or just reply directly depending on the situation.

Let’s see how this goes.

Continuation from the previous setup.

Here’s a closer look at how the containment is actually functioning in real time. Manometer readings are holding between -5 to -6 Pa, confirming proper negative pressure.

We also ran a smoke test—you can clearly see airflow pulling inward, exactly what we want to prevent cross-contamination.

Airflow is controlled, pressure is holding, and everything is working together before any demolition starts. This is what proper setup looks like: planning, control, and attention to detail.
