Revitalizing Martial Arts School in Rockdale: A Restoration Story

Updated on: November 20, 2023

Author: Tracy King

Mold is often referred to as a silent killer. With more than 100,000 different species ranging in different levels of toxicity, it’s certainly nothing that home or business owners want to mess around with. Unfortunately, it can quickly grow indoors and cause several health challenges. Not to mention, it can stain and damage building materials.


While many people might think that their property is mold free, that can change in a day. It only takes 24 hours for mold to start growing, and when it’s in a warm, moist environment, it continues to spread.


Because of how quickly it can infiltrate a home or commercial building, a
mold removal company should be contacted as soon as an issue is discovered. It’s especially important that business owners act quickly so that they can ensure the health and safety of their employees and customers.


While it might be challenging to choose a trusted company, case studies make the decision a lot easier. This project, completed by Texas Certified Restoration, is an excellent example of how their crews can quickly handle a mold removal. Rockdale, TX customers should keep reading to learn more about the company’s experience.


The Mold Problem Presented to Texas Certified Restoration

Master’s Martial Arts is a local martial arts school located in Rockdale, TX. Not only does the building have several gym and training areas, but it also has office space that was previously unusable for various reasons. 


In order to get more functional space for the martial arts school, the owner decided to do some renovations in the office. However, the project required mold removal services and more to make sure that it was a safe and healthy space for the students and instructors. The owner knew this was not a project that he could do alone, so he made the call to Texas Certified Restoration. 


Tracy King is one of the owners of Texas Certified Restoration, and he personally responded to this service call. As an experienced mold removal professional, he knew that he would need to arrive on-scene with the proper protective equipment. Not only did he bring a hazmat suit, but he also made sure that he had an effective air scrubber to start cleaning the air while he assessed the situation.


How Texas Certified Restoration Helped with the Mold Removal and Demo

At the assessment, Tracy examined the office space and other nearby areas to look for signs of mold growth. He also identified problem areas that would need extra focus. It was determined that the area would remove mold removal and some demolition work in order to make the office a new, functional space in the martial art school.


Mold Removal Solutions

Once Texas Certified Restoration was able to identify the type of mold in the office, they were able to make a custom treatment plan that addressed the source of the mold first to prevent any future mold growth. Once the source was identified, Tracy was able to resolve the issues quickly and efficiently so that the owner didn’t have to worry about mold coming back in the future.


He also started removing all of the affected building materials and cleaning non-absorbent surfaces. These
mold removal specialists have access to the right tools and cleaning products to disinfect the area effectively. Once he was finished, all the mold spores were removed from the office space.


The air scrubber was also essentially for cleaning the air inside the room. It was able to remove any mold spores that were remaining in the environment so that they couldn’t attach to surfaces and lead to more growth. 


Demo Removal Job

In addition to the mold removal services, this project also required some other demo removal. Texas Certified Restoration was able to help with removing other building materials. They safely disposed of them so that the office could be restored quickly and efficiently. In fact, the entire cleanup process was completed in one day. Tracy worked tirelessly to get the job done, and the customer appreciated the extra effort he put into the job.
