Why Meyerland hiring is different

Many Meyerland streets appear on FEMA repetitive-loss maps after Allison, the Tax Day and Memorial Day floods, and Harvey. Insurance scopes often mix Category 1 clean water (supply line) with Category 3 floodwater. Ask any restoration crew which category they documented, whether they follow IICRC S500 drying goals, and who writes the mold protocol if cavities stay wet past 48–72 hours.

Local sequence that protects you: (1) stop the source safely, (2) hire water mitigation with moisture mapping, (3) after drying — or if you smell must — hire a TDLR assessment-only mold inspector, (4) bid remediation separately. See hire inspector & remediator separately.

What to ask a Meyerland water crew

  • Do you have a Houston street address and can you put IICRC WRT/ASD techs on this job today?
  • Will you produce a moisture map and daily drying readings my insurer can use?
  • If floodwater entered wall cavities, how do you decide tear-out vs dry-in-place?
  • Who performs mold assessment if we need clearance — and is that a different company?
