Mold risk in Houston

average annual precipitation (NOAA)

Houston's heat, humidity and flood history make it one of the country's worst mold environments. Harris County has logged 41 federal disaster declarations — many flood and hurricane events (Hurricane Beryl and Severe Storms, Straight-Line Winds, Tornadoes, and Flooding) that leave drywall and subfloor wet long after the water recedes. Pair that with ~49.8" of annual rain and year-round humidity and mold takes hold fast.

Pros in the network serve the Houston metro area, including Downtown, The Heights, Montrose, Memorial, Spring Branch, Kingwood, Clear Lake — and ZIP codes such as 77002, 77008, 77024, 77042, 77084.

Rules & permits in Houston

Permits & inspections

Rebuild & electrical permits

Post-storm re-roofing, structural, electrical and plumbing repairs all need permits through the Houston Permitting Center, and electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician. After major storms the City runs an electrical "emergency fast-track" so power can be restored on like-for-like repairs.
