What Makes Paris, Texas Different
Paris sits on the rolling Blackland Prairie of northeast Texas, south of the Red River. It gets much more rain than West Texas, and summers are humid. Mold can start on wet drywall and carpet pad within 24 to 48 hours in this weather, so start drying the day you find the water and run a dehumidifier until the materials test dry.
This corner of the state sits in the path of spring storms that bring tornadoes, large hail and damaging wind. A tornado struck Paris in April 1982 and destroyed hundreds of homes. After any storm, tarp roof openings once it is safe, photograph the damage from inside and out, and keep every receipt. Never run a generator in a garage or near a window, because carbon monoxide kills quietly.
The dark clay soil here swells when wet and shrinks in dry spells, which can crack foundations and the pipes under them. Many older homes sit on pier and beam foundations, and water that collects in the crawlspace feeds mold under the floor. Keep gutters and downspouts working so rain runs away from the house.

Checking a License in Paris
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.
