Cypress Creek and Spring Creek have flooded neighborhoods in major storms, including the 2016 Tax Day flood and Harvey in 2017. Large trees drop limbs on roofs in storms, and roots invade older clay and cast-iron sewer lines, causing backups. Some older Spring-area properties on larger lots still use septic systems or aging private sewer lines. A failed septic system or blocked lateral can push sewage back into the house during heavy rain, which calls for Category 3 cleanup and a plumber or septic contractor.
Because Spring is unincorporated, building permits generally go through Harris County or Montgomery County, and many neighborhoods have their own MUD and HOA rules. Older 1970s–80s homes are reaching the age for drain and supply-line failures.
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.

Water Damage questions
Who issues permits in Spring, TX?
Spring isn't an incorporated city, so permits generally go through Harris County or Montgomery County depending on the address. HOAs may have their own approval steps.
Why do tree roots cause sewer backups in Spring?
Roots find small cracks and joints in older clay and cast-iron sewer pipes, grow inside, and catch debris until the line blocks.
How fast does water damage need to be dried?
As soon as possible. Mold can start growing on wet drywall and wood in 24 to 48 hours, and materials keep absorbing water the longer it sits.
Does homeowners insurance cover water damage?
Usually for sudden, accidental water such as a burst pipe or appliance failure. Gradual leaks, flooding from outside and sewer backups often need separate coverage or endorsements.
