What Makes Brownsville Different
Brownsville sits at the southern tip of Texas, near the Gulf and the mouth of the Rio Grande. The land is low and flat, and old river channels called resacas wind through the city. In a hurricane or a slow tropical storm, heavy rain can overwhelm drains and flood streets and homes. Floodwater from outside is always contaminated, and a standard homeowners policy does not cover it.
The climate is hot and humid most of the year, so wet materials grow mold fast. Drywall, carpet pad and insulation that stay wet for 24 to 48 hours often need to come out. Air conditioners run nearly all the time, and a clogged condensate line can drip into a ceiling or wall for weeks before it shows.
Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. Salt air and storm surge near the coast corrode wiring and metal quickly, so have an electrician check anything that was under water before power goes back on. Long outages stop fans and air conditioning. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.

Checking a License in Brownsville
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.
