What Makes Lufkin, Texas Different
Lufkin sits in the piney woods of Deep East Texas, a couple of hours inland from the Gulf. Tall pines and hardwoods shade most neighborhoods, and in a strong storm they are the biggest threat to a roof. A tree through the roof lets rain into the attic, insulation and ceilings within minutes, so tarp the opening as soon as it is safe and start drying the same day.
Hurricanes that come ashore on the upper Texas or Louisiana coast can still bring hard wind, heavy rain and long power outages this far north. When the power is out, air conditioning, dehumidifiers and sump pumps all stop at once. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.
Summers are long, hot and humid, and wet drywall and carpet pad can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours. Many older homes in town sit on pier and beam foundations, where water collects in the crawlspace and feeds mold under the floor. The clay soil swells when wet and shrinks in drought, which moves foundations and can crack the pipes under them. Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint, so test before you sand or tear anything out.

Checking a License in Lufkin
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.
