Mold and Asbestos: Serious Risks for Texas Commercial Properties
How Commercial Property Experts Like Doyle Property Services Help Solve Them
Texas commercial property owners face a unique set of environmental challenges. High humidity, extreme weather, aging buildings, and rapid development all create ideal conditions for two of the most serious indoor hazards: mold and asbestos. These issues aren’t just maintenance concerns—they’re health, legal, and financial risks that demand professional attention.
For property managers, investors, and business owners, choosing a certified, experienced testing company is essential. That’s where expert firms like Doyle Property Services stand out.
Why Mold Is a Major Issue in Texas
Texas’s climate makes mold growth a constant threat. Warm temperatures, frequent storms, flooding events, and high indoor humidity allow mold to develop quickly—often hidden behind walls, above ceilings, or inside HVAC systems.
In commercial buildings, mold can:
-
Trigger respiratory issues, allergies, and asthma
-
Disrupt tenant operations and employee productivity
-
Lead to costly remediation and business interruptions
-
Create liability exposure for property owners
Because mold is often invisible at first, professional mold testing and inspection is critical. Certified experts use air sampling, surface testing, and moisture analysis to identify the presence, type, and severity of mold before it becomes a major problem.
Asbestos: A Hidden Risk in Older Commercial Buildings
Many commercial properties in Texas—especially those built before the 1980s—may contain asbestos in materials such as insulation, flooring, ceiling tiles, roofing, and pipe wraps. While asbestos is not dangerous when undisturbed, renovation, repairs, or demolition can release microscopic fibers into the air.
Exposure to asbestos has been linked to serious illnesses, including:
-
Mesothelioma
-
Lung cancer
-
Asbestosis
State and federal regulations require proper asbestos inspections and testing before renovation or demolition work begins. Failing to comply can result in fines, project delays, and significant legal exposure.
Why Professional Testing Matters
DIY test kits and visual inspections are not enough for commercial properties. Texas regulations and industry standards require testing to be conducted by trained, certified professionals who understand proper sampling methods, lab analysis, and regulatory compliance.
An expert company doesn’t just test—they:
-
Identify risks accurately
-
Provide clear, defensible documentation
-
Help owners meet regulatory requirements
-
Reduce liability and protect occupants
