Houston questions

Asked often in Houston

Does homeowners insurance cover Houston flood damage?

Standard policies usually cover sudden water damage like a burst pipe, but rising water from outside typically requires a separate flood policy. The contractor's documentation supports either claim — your agent confirms your coverage.

How fast does mold grow in Houston humidity?

Mold can begin within 24–48 hours on wet drywall, wood, and carpet backing — faster in Houston's humidity. That's why drying starts the same visit as extraction whenever possible.

Which Houston areas do you route?

The line routes calls across the metro — inside the Loop, the suburbs, and surrounding communities. Give the dispatcher your address and you'll be told right away if a contractor covers it.
