The Steam Team, a long-established restoration contractor based in Austin, Texas, has announced the expansion of its mold remediation services into several additional communities throughout Texas, including Round Rock, Manor, Cedar Park, Rollingwood, West Lake Hills, Sunset Valley, Bee Cave, Lakeway, Buda, and Pflugerville. The development reflects a response to increased demand for professional inspection, containment, and removal of mold-related damage across residential and commercial properties in the region.
Founded in 1983 and headquartered at 9901 Burnet Road, The Steam Team has built its reputation on water damage restoration, fire damage recovery, and emergency response services. Over the past four decades, the company has served tens of thousands of property owners, often working in coordination with insurance adjusters and property managers to restore buildings following environmental damage.

The introduction of mold remediation services into these additional service areas comes at a time when property owners are facing growing concerns related to indoor air quality and moisture-related structural issues. Mold growth is often linked to water intrusion events such as flooding, plumbing leaks, and humidity buildup, conditions that are not uncommon in Central Texas due to seasonal storms and rapid development patterns. Industry data suggests that mold can begin developing within 24 to 48 hours after water exposure, increasing the urgency for timely intervention.
The Steam Team’s expansion aims to provide a structured and compliant remediation process to communities that have experienced population growth and increased construction activity in recent years. Round Rock, Manor, and Cedar Park have all seen continued residential and commercial development, contributing to a higher volume of restoration needs tied to both new construction and aging infrastructure.
David Marquardt, owner of The Steam Team, stated that the decision to expand was driven by both operational capacity and regional demand. “Expanding mold remediation services into these communities allows the company to respond more effectively to property damage scenarios that require specialized containment and removal procedures,” said David Marquardt. “The goal is to ensure that property owners have access to licensed professionals who understand the regulatory requirements and technical processes involved in mold remediation.”
Mold remediation differs from general cleaning or maintenance services due to its regulatory and procedural requirements. In Texas, remediation work must follow strict guidelines set by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. This includes the use of containment barriers, negative air pressure systems, and approved antimicrobial treatments. The Steam Team operates under a state-issued mold remediation contractor license and follows established protocols designed to prevent cross-contamination and ensure safe removal practices.
The company’s remediation process typically begins with a detailed inspection and moisture mapping assessment. This step identifies the source of water intrusion and evaluates the extent of contamination. Once the affected areas are identified, technicians implement containment measures to isolate the impacted zones. High-efficiency particulate air filtration systems are then used to capture airborne contaminants while the removal of affected materials is carried out.
Following removal, surfaces are treated with antimicrobial agents, and structural drying equipment is deployed to eliminate residual moisture. This process often involves the use of dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture meters to monitor drying progress. Once moisture levels are stabilized, reconstruction or repair work may be initiated if structural elements have been compromised.
The Steam Team’s integrated approach allows coordination between mold remediation and other restoration services such as water damage mitigation and structural drying. This continuity is intended to reduce delays and streamline recovery efforts for property owners managing insurance claims or business interruptions.
Local officials and property managers in expanding service areas have noted the importance of access to certified restoration contractors, particularly as commercial development continues to increase. Facilities such as office buildings, retail centers, and multi-unit housing complexes often require rapid response to environmental hazards to maintain occupancy and compliance standards.
In addition to addressing immediate remediation needs, the expansion is expected to support long-term prevention efforts. Moisture control and proper ventilation are key factors in reducing the likelihood of recurring mold issues. Technicians may provide guidance on improving airflow, addressing leaks, and maintaining HVAC systems to support healthier indoor environments.
The Steam Team’s service expansion also aligns with broader trends in the restoration industry, where demand for specialized services continues to rise. Property owners are becoming more aware of the potential risks associated with untreated mold growth, including structural deterioration and indoor air concerns. As a result, licensed remediation providers are increasingly sought after for both emergency response and preventative work.
While the company remains headquartered in Austin, the extended service coverage is expected to improve response times in surrounding communities. Faster deployment can help limit damage spread, reduce remediation scope, and support more efficient restoration timelines.
The Steam Team has indicated that staffing and equipment resources have been scaled to support the expansion. Technicians are trained in accordance with industry certifications and are equipped with professional-grade tools designed for inspection, containment, and cleanup processes. The company continues to operate a 24-hour emergency response system, ensuring availability for urgent restoration scenarios.
The addition of mold remediation services in Round Rock, Manor, and Cedar Park reflects an ongoing effort to meet evolving regional needs. As Texas communities continue to grow, the demand for reliable restoration services remains closely tied to both environmental conditions and infrastructure development.
With this expansion, The Steam Team reinforces its role as a restoration contractor focused on responding to water damage, mold issues, fire recovery, and related emergencies. The company’s approach emphasizes regulatory compliance, technical accuracy, and coordinated service delivery across multiple restoration disciplines.

For property owners and managers in newly served areas, the availability of licensed mold remediation services provides an additional layer of support when addressing moisture-related damage. As environmental factors continue to impact buildings across Central Texas, access to qualified remediation professionals remains an important component of property maintenance and recovery planning.
