Other risks in San Antonio

Flash flooding

Creeks like Leon Creek and Salado Creek rise quickly in heavy rain, and low-water crossings flood across the city.

Hail damage

The April 2016 storm damaged roofs across northern Bexar County, and hail remains a regular spring threat.

Freeze bursts

The February 2021 freeze burst pipes in attics and exterior walls across San Antonio.

Expansive clay and slab leaks

Clay soils swell and shrink with rain and drought, cracking slabs and the plumbing beneath them.

Mold Removal questions

Do I need a permit for repairs in San Antonio?

Structural, plumbing and electrical repairs need permits from the City of San Antonio Development Services Department.

Do I need a licensed mold company in San Antonio?

Yes, for jobs of 25 contiguous square feet or more. Texas requires a TDLR-licensed remediator and an independent licensed assessor.

Is bleach enough to kill mold?

Not on porous materials like drywall and wood. Bleach mostly lightens the surface. Porous materials with growth are usually removed, and the moisture source has to be fixed.

Do I need mold testing?

Not always. If mold is visible, the priority is removing it and fixing the moisture. Testing helps when you smell mold but can't find it, or when clearance is required.
