What Makes Temple, Texas Different
Temple sits on the Blackland Prairie in Bell County, where the soil is a thick, dark clay. That clay swells when it is wet and shrinks when it dries out, so foundations shift and pipes under the slab can crack. A slab leak often shows up as a warm spot on the floor, a sound of running water, or a water bill that jumps for no reason.
The Leon River and the Lampasas River meet near Belton to form the Little River, and Belton Lake and Stillhouse Hollow Lake sit just to the west. Central Texas storms can drop several inches of rain in a few hours, and low crossings flood fast. Never drive into water over a road, since a foot of moving water can float a car. Spring also brings hail that cracks shingles and lets rain into the attic.
Summers are long and hot, and most homes run the air conditioner for months at a time. A clogged condensate line can drip into a ceiling for weeks before anyone sees a stain. Wet drywall and carpet pad in this heat can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours, so start drying the same day and keep the air cool and dry.

Checking a License in Temple
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.
