What Makes Longview, Texas Different
Longview sits in the pine woods of East Texas, where the air is humid most of the year and heavy rain can fall in a short time. Wet drywall and carpet pad can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours here, so drying has to start the same day. The Sabine River runs along the south side of the city, and low ground near the river and creeks can flood.
Spring storms bring tornadoes, hail and strong wind, and falling pine trees can punch holes in roofs. Winter ice storms can bring down limbs and power lines, and a long outage lets pipes freeze. The clay soil swells when wet and shrinks in drought, which moves slabs and can crack the pipes under them.
Many older homes sit on pier and beam foundations over crawlspaces, where moisture builds up and feeds mold under the floor. Keep crawlspace vents and drainage working, and look under the house after heavy rain. Many homes near downtown were built before 1978, so test for lead paint and asbestos before any demolition.

Checking a License in Longview
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.
