What Makes Houston Different
Houston is flat, built on clay, and crossed by bayous. When a slow tropical storm stalls over the city, rain has nowhere to go fast, and streets, yards and ground floors can fill in hours. Floodwater from outside is always contaminated. A standard homeowners policy does not cover it, so flood insurance is a separate policy worth having here.
Heat and humidity make mold move quickly. Wet drywall and carpet pad can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours, so drying has to start the same day. Air conditioners run most of the year, and a clogged condensate line or a rusted drain pan under an attic unit can soak a ceiling quietly. The clay soil swells when wet and shrinks in drought, which moves slabs and can crack the pipes that run under them.
Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. Wind driven rain gets under shingles and around windows, and long power outages stop sump pumps, dehumidifiers and air conditioning all at once. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.

Checking a License in Houston
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.
