Flood victims, if you are getting your home cleaned up by mold remediation companies, there are some things you should know. First, since Houston was declared a disaster area, the Governor has allowed unlicensed restoration companies to participate in the clean up as long as they register with the state, and carry insurance to meet state standards. This pertains only to homes that were damaged from Hurricane Harvey. This is only temporary and at the Governor’s discretion. You can read more on emergency guidance on mold remediation under Gov. Greg Abbott’s disaster declaration on the state website.
