What Makes McAlester, Oklahoma Different
McAlester sits in the green, hilly country of southeast Oklahoma, just south of Lake Eufaula. The climate is warmer and wetter than most of the state, and summer humidity is high. Wet drywall and carpet pad can start growing mold within 24 to 48 hours in that heat, so drying has to start the day the water is found.
Spring brings tornadoes, large hail and heavy thunderstorms, and winter can bring ice storms that bring down limbs and power lines for days. A limb through the roof lets rain soak the attic insulation, which then holds water against the ceiling. Tarp the opening once it is safe, photograph everything before cleanup, and keep receipts for every fan and tarp you buy. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.
Many homes in town are older frame houses on crawlspaces, and the red clay soil holds water close to the foundation after a long rain. A musty smell in the hall or soft spots in the floor can mean a damp crawlspace. Keep gutters clean, extend the downspouts, and check under the house after every big storm.

Checking a License in McAlester
Oklahoma has no statewide license for general contractors. The Oklahoma Construction Industries Board licenses plumbers, electricians and mechanical contractors and registers roofing contractors, so ask for that license or registration when the job includes those trades and look it up with the board. Oklahoma has no separate state mold license. Ask for proof of liability insurance and whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage or mold remediation. After a big storm, be careful with anyone who knocks on your door and cannot show a registration.
