Mold Assessment and Remediation
Mold is a serious health risk for Texas residents recovering from hurricane floodwaters.

Damage to Electrical & HVAC Systems
Water and wind events can cause serious damage to electrical and air conditioning systems – even unseen damage. It’s important to have those systems evaluated by a licensed electrician and licensed air conditioning contractor before they are placed back into service. Learn more.
Was Your Elevator or Escalator Damaged?
If your elevator or escalator was damaged or submerged during a storm, then it is important that the equipment be assessed by a TDLR-licensed Elevator Contractor prior to being placed back into operation. Find an Elevator Contractor near you.
