What Makes Laredo Different
Laredo is one of the hottest cities in the country, and air conditioners run for most of the year. A clogged condensate line or a rusted drain pan can drip into a ceiling or wall for weeks before anyone notices. Check the drain line and pan every spring, and add a float switch that shuts the unit off if the pan fills.
The climate is dry most of the time, but heavy storms and the remains of Gulf tropical systems can drop a lot of rain fast. Creeks that are dry most of the year can flood quickly, and low streets fill in minutes. The Rio Grande can rise after heavy rain upstream. Floodwater from outside is contaminated, and a standard homeowners policy does not cover it.
Most homes are slab on grade over clay soil that swells when wet and shrinks in drought. That movement can crack slabs and the pipes under them. Hard freezes are rare, but the February 2021 winter storm froze and burst pipes across Texas, including in homes with no insulation on exposed pipes. Many older homes were built before 1978, so test for lead paint before sanding.

Checking a License in Laredo
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.
