What Makes Abilene, Texas Different
Abilene sits on the rolling plains of West Texas, where long dry spells are broken by heavy thunderstorms. Rain on dry, hard ground runs off fast, and Cedar Creek, Elm Creek and low streets can flood in a short time. Never drive through water over a road.
Spring storms bring large hail and tornado risk, and a damaged roof can leak for months before a stain appears. The clay soil swells when wet and shrinks in drought, which moves slabs and can crack the pipes that run under them. A slab leak can soak flooring for weeks before you notice.
Winter is mostly mild, but a hard freeze can split pipes in homes that are not built for the cold. Open cabinet doors under sinks on exterior walls and let faucets drip on the coldest nights. Wet drywall and carpet pad can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours, and many older homes were built before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before any demolition.

Checking a License in Abilene
Texas licenses mold work through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. For mold jobs of 25 contiguous square feet or more, ask for a state licensed mold assessor to write the plan and a separate state licensed mold remediation contractor to do the cleanup, because Texas does not let the same company do both on one project. Look up both license numbers on the department’s website before you sign.
Texas has no statewide license for general contractors, so for rebuild work ask for proof of liability insurance and check with your city about permits. Plumbers are licensed by the state, so a slab leak or burst pipe repair should be done by a licensed plumber. For the drying and cleanup itself, ask whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage or mold remediation.
