What you're preparing for

Building science literacy for mold and moisture work

Mold assessors and remediators in Texas operate under the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. This academy builds the building-science and inspection literacy those professionals rely on and previews the state framework.

  • Moisture sources and building envelope failures
  • Instrumentation — moisture meters, hygrometers, IR
  • Sampling concepts and chain of custody
  • PPE selection and containment fundamentals
  • Remediation categories and clearance concepts
  • Reporting, photos, and defensible documentation

DolaOS internal training only. Nothing on this page constitutes a claim of state licensure, HUD roster placement, or regulatory approval.

Field scenario

Case study — stained ceiling below a second-story bath

You find a stained drywall ceiling directly under a second-story tub/shower. Walk the moisture mapping plan, the instruments you'd deploy first, the PPE tier for the initial assessment, and the language for the assessment report.
