Protecting properties, advocating for claims, and safeguarding health
Independent assessment and documentation for every property
We help restore healthy air quality in your home or office, whether it is an inspection and testing to prove or disprove a problem, a consultation providing education for a DIY project, or just referring quality vendors and the best solutions. We stand as advocates and provide education and detailed services with integrity, as a neutral third party. This ensures your safety so you can be confident and healthy, with peace of mind.
Passionate about making a difference.
We prioritize honesty, integrity, and exceptional service, so the health and needs of our clients come first.
Our team is made up of qualified, licensed professionals trained to meet Texas state and industry regulations.
We take a personalized approach to every air-quality concern, so the solution fits your property and your goals.
Our independent assessments target and resolve indoor air-quality issues at the source, then verify the result.
We continue to develop and pursue advanced training beyond baseline industry requirements.
Navigating regulatory guidelines and proposed industry standards, influenced by numerous organizations, can be daunting. Our assessments follow the published methods and guidance of recognized public-health and building authorities, and in Texas a licensed Mold Assessment Consultant writes the protocol a remediator follows. We translate that into a clear, defensible plan for your project.
When disaster strikes, our experts understand the complexities of large-loss fire and water claims and how to document them. Fire is our featured, fire-first service.

Our Services
Independent assessment, smoke-pathway mapping, and a code-aligned remediation plan with verification criteria after a fire, for commercial buildings and campuses first and residential properties second.
Welcome to FixAIRx. My journey to help my own family started with a serious environmental problem in a building where we lived. Getting honest, independent answers was harder than it should have been, and that experience shaped how this company works: independent assessment, complete documentation, and education, so owners and families can make decisions based on evidence rather than fear.
Today we bring that same standard to commercial and residential clients across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, as the independent expert and claims-advocacy partner, never the remediation contractor.

Ready to help a thousand more families. We take the time, with the heart, energy, knowledge, and thoroughness it takes to make a real difference.
From large-loss claims to single-family homes, we provide contractors and FixAIRx resources to scientifically justify the scope of work and safeguard the client's property and health.
Detailed, defensible documentation of the loss and the recommended scope of work.
We apply building science and recognized standards to justify what the project requires.
Independent certification that the work was completed correctly and verified.
Evidence-based justification for the scope, so it holds up with insurers and stakeholders.
A clear, defined scope so every party knows exactly what is included.
We find concealed damage in cavities, shafts, and systems that surface inspections miss.
Documentation that a space meets habitability standards before reoccupancy.
Independent documentation that supports health-liability questions for the parties involved.
Documentation that helps recover the full, fair value of a covered claim.
Advocating for what is right
Independent documentation and a defensible scope of work gave the owner and the general contractor the leverage to argue the claim on the facts.
Every project is unique. We take a tailored approach and provide custom documentation to ensure you meet your goals.
Straight answers, sourced to the US EPA, US CDC, and Texas DLR. Still have a question?
We are an independent environmental-hygiene and large-loss consultancy. We assess and document fire, water, mold, and indoor-air-quality problems in commercial and residential buildings, and we write code-aligned remediation plans. We are the independent expert and claims-advocacy partner, not the remediation contractor, which keeps our findings unbiased.
If wet or damp materials are dried within 24 to 48 hours of a leak or spill, in most cases mold will not grow (US EPA). After that window, mold can begin growing on damp, cellulose-rich materials like drywall, paper, and wood.
The US EPA does not recommend bleach or other biocides as a routine practice for mold cleanup. For a small area on a hard surface, the EPA recommends scrubbing with detergent and water and drying completely. The key is removing the mold and fixing the moisture, not just killing it.
When visible mold is present, sampling is usually unnecessary just to confirm you have mold (US EPA), and the CDC says it is not necessary to identify the species because all molds should be treated the same way for removal. Testing is most useful for defining the extent of a problem, clearance after remediation, or investigating an air-quality complaint.
In Texas, a licensed Mold Assessment Consultant (licensed through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation) is the professional who formally assesses a property and writes the remediation protocol that a remediator then follows. We provide that independent assessment.
We serve the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, including Dallas, Plano, Lewisville, Frisco, Allen, Richardson, Carrollton, and Grapevine.
Once the property is safe to enter, an independent fire-damage assessment maps smoke pathways, checks HVAC and concealed cavities, and produces a documented, code-aligned remediation plan. Getting independent documentation early protects both the building and your insurance claim.
