Other risks in McKinney
Pier-and-beam crawlspace moisture
Older McKinney homes on pier-and-beam foundations can collect water and humidity in the crawlspace, leading to subfloor rot and musty odors.
Aging infrastructure downtown
Homes near McKinney's historic square often have century-old clay or cast-iron sewer laterals. Tree roots from mature pecans and oaks get into the joints and cause backups that come up through floor drains and tubs. A camera inspection of the line is worth doing after any backup.

Attic mold removal questions
Can hardwood floors in an older McKinney home be saved after a leak?
Often, if drying starts within a day or two. Specialized floor-drying mats pull moisture out of wood, and boards usually flatten as they dry.
Who issues permits in McKinney?

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.
