What Makes Huntsville, Texas Different
Huntsville sits in the Piney Woods of East Texas, about 70 miles north of Houston. Tall pines grow close to many homes, and when a strong storm or the tail of a hurricane passes through, trees fall on roofs and take down power lines. Hurricane Ike in 2008 brought down trees and knocked out power across Walker County. Tarp any hole in the roof the same day so rain does not soak the insulation and ceiling below.
Summers are long, hot and humid, and the air conditioner runs from spring into fall. That makes a clogged condensate line one of the most common leaks here. Wet drywall, carpet pad and cabinet bases can start growing mold within 24 to 48 hours, so start drying right away and keep indoor humidity near 50 percent. Many older homes near the university sit on pier and beam foundations, and damp crawlspaces can feed mold under the floor.
Heavy spring storms can drop several inches of rain in a few hours on the hilly, clay ground around town, and water runs fast into low yards and ditches. Rental homes and older apartments near campus often go a long time between inspections, so renters should report a drip or a musty smell to the landlord in writing. Never run a generator inside a garage or near an open window, since carbon monoxide gives no warning.

Checking a License in Huntsville
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.
