Storm cells crossing Dallas County regularly bring hail and straight-line winds to Irving. Older composition roofs on 1960s–70s homes lose granules and shingles, and water then reaches attic insulation and ceilings during the next heavy rain, often weeks after the storm.
In stacked apartments and condos, water moves down through ceilings and walls into the units below. Older single-family homes in south Irving often have original galvanized plumbing, which corrodes from the inside and fails at the joints.
Licensing in Texas: Texas doesn't license general contractors statewide, but it licenses mold assessors and mold remediation contractors through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) for projects of 25 contiguous square feet or more.

Attic mold removal questions
Who pays when a neighbor's leak damages my Irving condo?
It depends on the HOA's governing documents and where the leak started. Usually the HOA master policy covers common elements, and your HO-6 policy covers your unit's interior and contents. Report it to the HOA and your insurer right away.
Do repairs in Irving need a permit?
Drying doesn't. Plumbing, electrical and structural repairs during the rebuild go through the City of Irving's inspections department.
Is attic mold a deal-breaker when selling a house?
Not usually, if it's remediated and the cause is fixed with documentation. Buyers mainly want proof it was handled correctly.
