What Makes McAllen Different
The Rio Grande Valley is almost perfectly flat. When a tropical storm or a slow line of storms stalls over the valley, rain has nowhere to go fast, and streets, yards and homes can fill with water. Floodwater from outside is always contaminated. A standard homeowners policy does not cover it, so flood insurance is a separate policy worth having here.
Heat and humidity run most of the year, so mold grows quickly on anything that stays wet. Wet drywall and carpet can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours, so drying has to start the same day. Air conditioners run almost nonstop, and a clogged condensate line or a rusty drain pan can soak a ceiling or a closet without anyone noticing.
Most homes sit on concrete slabs, with pipes running under the floor. A slab leak can show up as a warm spot on the floor, a high water bill or the sound of running water when everything is off. Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.

Checking a License in McAllen and the Rio Grande Valley
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.
