Absolute Kleen & Restoration is owned by Richard Jones and based in Cypress, Texas. The company started as a local cleaning business and grew into licensed mold and water damage restoration.
Common signs are a musty smell, visible spots on walls or ceilings, water stains, peeling paint, and allergy-like symptoms that improve when you leave the house. A licensed mold assessment is the only way to confirm what is there and how far it has spread.
A licensed assessor looks for moisture and visible growth, checks readings with moisture meters, and takes air or surface samples where needed. The samples go to a lab, and you get a written report that explains the findings in plain language.
Air sampling measures the mold spores floating in the air and compares them to an outdoor sample. Surface sampling (a swab or tape lift) identifies what is growing on a specific spot you can see.
Often yes. Visible mold is usually only part of the problem, and in Texas a remediation project over 25 contiguous square feet needs a written protocol from a licensed Mold Assessment Consultant. Testing tells you how far it goes before any work begins.
Lab results typically come back within a few business days. We then walk you through the report and explain what, if anything, needs to be done.
Some molds, including the one often called black mold (Stachybotrys), can cause health problems, especially for children, older adults, and people with asthma or allergies. Any indoor mold growth should be assessed and removed properly rather than wiped or bleached.
Yes. Mold commonly grows inside walls, under flooring, and in attics or crawlspaces where there is hidden moisture from a leak or high humidity. A musty smell with nothing visible is often the first sign.
After remediation, a licensed assessor inspects the area and tests again to confirm the mold has been removed and the space meets clearance criteria. In Texas, you receive a Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation once the project passes.
If the home has a musty smell, past water damage, or visible stains, a mold assessment before closing is a smart step. It can reveal problems a general home inspection may miss.
Texas rules do not allow the same company to do both the assessment and the remediation on the same project. This keeps testing independent from the removal work, and we will explain how that applies to your job when you call.
Do not clean or paint over suspected mold, and keep windows closed for a few hours beforehand so air samples are accurate. Make sure the assessor can reach the attic, under sinks, and the AC unit.
Mold remediation is the process of containing the affected area, safely removing mold-contaminated materials, cleaning and treating surfaces, and fixing the moisture source. The goal is to return mold levels to normal and keep the mold from coming back.
Most residential jobs take one to five days depending on the size of the area and how much material has to be removed. We give you a clear timeline before any work starts.
In many cases, yes. We seal off the work area with containment and negative air pressure so spores do not spread to the rest of the house. For large jobs or sensitive household members, we may recommend staying elsewhere.
Bleach can lighten mold on hard, non-porous surfaces, but it does not reach roots in porous materials like drywall and wood, and it adds moisture. Proper remediation removes contaminated material and treats surfaces instead.
Mold returns when the moisture source is not fixed, such as a slow leak, poor ventilation, or high humidity. Real remediation always includes finding and correcting the moisture problem.
Yes. Attics and crawlspaces are common trouble spots in the Houston area because of heat and humidity. We handle containment, removal, treatment, and drying in those spaces.
If mold has grown into drywall, the affected sections usually need to be cut out and replaced, because drywall is porous and cannot be fully cleaned. We only remove what is necessary.
We build plastic containment around the work area, run HEPA air scrubbers under negative pressure, and use HEPA vacuums on surfaces. This keeps spores inside the work zone.
It depends on your policy and the cause. Mold from a sudden covered event, like a burst pipe, is more likely to be covered than mold from long-term humidity or neglected leaks. We document everything and work with your carrier.
Keep indoor humidity below about 50 percent, fix leaks right away, run bathroom fans, and keep gutters and drainage clear. Call us quickly after any water event so materials are dried before mold can start.
In Texas, it is a document you receive after a remediation project passes clearance. It shows the mold problem was properly addressed, and it is worth keeping for insurance and for when you sell your home.
Mold remediation of more than 25 contiguous square feet must be done by a licensed Mold Remediation Contractor following a protocol from a licensed Mold Assessment Consultant. Very small areas can be handled by a homeowner.
If it is safe, shut off the water source and the power to affected areas, then call us at (281) 733-2733. Move valuables out of the water and take photos for your insurance claim.
Mold can begin to grow within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. That is why fast water extraction and drying matter so much.
Most structural drying takes three to five days with professional air movers and dehumidifiers. We measure moisture every day and only stop when materials reach normal dry levels.
Often, yes, if it is clean water and the carpet is extracted and dried quickly. Carpet soaked by sewage or flood water from outside usually has to be replaced for health reasons.
Yes. We extract the water, dry the structure, and document the damage for your insurance claim. For the plumbing repair itself, you will need a licensed plumber, and we can work alongside them.
We use truck-mounted and portable extractors, commercial air movers, dehumidifiers, and moisture meters to find hidden water. The equipment stays until readings confirm the structure is dry.
Yes. We respond to storm, hurricane, and flash flood damage across the Houston area. Outside flood water is treated as contaminated, so affected materials are removed and the area is cleaned and dried.
Clean water comes from a supply line or faucet. Gray water, like washing machine overflow, has some contamination, and black water, like sewage or outside flood water, is highly contaminated and needs removal of affected materials.
Yes. We photograph and document the damage, take moisture readings, and write the estimate in Xactimate, the same software most insurers use. That makes the claim process smoother for you.
Yes. We respond 24/7 to offices, retail, restaurants, and multifamily properties, and we work to get you open again as quickly as possible.
Often, yes, if drying starts quickly. We use specialized drying equipment and monitor moisture levels, though badly cupped or buckled boards may need to be replaced.
Turn off the AC, put a bucket under any drip, and check the drain pan and condensate line near the air handler. Call us to extract water and dry the ceiling and attic before mold starts.
Yes. We work directly with your insurance company, providing photos, moisture logs, scope, and estimates. You stay in control of your claim while we handle the paperwork.
Xactimate is the estimating software most insurance carriers use to price restoration work. Because we write estimates in Xactimate, adjusters see line items they recognize, which usually means faster approvals and fewer disputes.
Cost depends on the size of the affected area, where it is, and how much material has to be removed. We start with an affordable inspection and give you a clear written estimate before any work begins.
Pricing depends on the number of rooms, the square footage, and extras like stain or pet odor treatment. Call (281) 733-2733 or use our contact form for a free, no-obligation quote.
Cleaning quotes are free. For mold and water damage, we start with an affordable inspection so we can give you an accurate estimate based on what is actually there.
We accept cash, credit cards, debit cards, Zelle, Venmo, and Cash App. For insurance jobs, we work with your carrier on the covered portion.
Yes. Your insurance deductible is your responsibility under your policy, and we will be upfront about it from the start. We never add hidden charges.
Payment terms depend on the type and size of the job, and we explain them clearly before work begins. There are no surprise fees.
Yes. You have the right to choose the contractor who works on your home. We work with all major insurance carriers.
Yes. We can meet the adjuster on site, walk them through the damage, and share our photos, moisture readings, and Xactimate estimate.
We use truck-mounted hot water extraction, often called steam cleaning. It flushes ground-in dirt, stains, and allergens out of the carpet fibers and pulls the dirty water out.
Most carpets dry in about 4 to 8 hours, depending on airflow, humidity, and carpet type. Running fans or the AC helps them dry faster.
Yes. We treat pet urine at the source with enzyme treatments along with hot water extraction, which removes most pet stains and odors. Very old stains that have damaged the dye may lighten but not fully disappear.
Most households should have carpets professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months. Homes with pets, kids, or allergy sufferers do better every 6 to 12 months.
Please pick up small items, toys, and breakables before we arrive. Our team can move light furniture, and we protect furniture legs from moisture.
Yes. We clean stairs, landings, and hallways as part of whole-home carpet cleaning.
Yes. Hot water extraction relies mainly on heat and water, and we use cleaning solutions that are safe for homes with kids and pets once the carpet is dry.
Most common stains, like dirt, food, drinks, and many pet stains, come out with hot water extraction. Stains that have changed the carpet's color, such as bleach or old urine, may lighten but not fully disappear, and we tell you what to expect first.
Yes. If the water was clean and the carpet is dried quickly, it can usually be extracted, dried, and cleaned. Carpet soaked by sewage or outside flood water usually needs to be replaced.
We use high-pressure hot water extraction with a spinner tool that blasts dirt, grease, and soap scum out of grout lines and vacuums it away at the same time. It reaches far deeper than mopping or scrubbing.
In most cases, yes. Deep cleaning often brings grout back to close to its original color without the cost of regrouting.
We recommend it. Grout sealing helps resist stains and spills and makes future cleaning much easier.
Yes. We clean showers and tubs to remove soap scum, hard-water buildup, and mildew stains.
A typical kitchen or bathroom takes a few hours. Floors are ready to walk on soon after we finish, and sealed grout should be kept dry for the time we recommend.
We clean many natural stone floors using solutions that are safe for stone. We check the surface first, because acidic cleaners can etch some stone.
Most floors should be resealed every one to three years, depending on foot traffic and how often the floor is cleaned. Showers may need resealing more often.
We clean sofas, sectionals, loveseats, recliners, dining chairs, ottomans, and mattresses. We check the fabric first and choose a method that is safe for it.
Often, yes. We have removed years of stains from cream-colored chairs for customers. Results depend on the fabric and the stain, and we tell you honestly what to expect before we start.
Most upholstery dries in about 4 to 6 hours. Good airflow helps it dry faster.
Yes. Mattress cleaning removes body oils, sweat stains, odors, and dust mites.
We clean rugs two ways: on-site in your home for a quick refresh, or a full-immersion flush at our shop for a deep clean. Shop cleaning includes free pickup and delivery.
Yes. We clean oriental, wool, and other fine rugs using methods matched to the fiber and dye so colors stay safe.
Yes. When a rug needs a full-immersion wash at our shop, pickup and delivery are free.
