Why Dickinson homes are prone to it

Dickinson is a Galveston County city about 32 miles from Houston, with farming, tourism and Italian settlement in its past and Dickinson Bayou flowing in and out of town. Hurricane Harvey hit it harder than almost anywhere: about 90 percent of the city flooded, and about half was destroyed by flooding. When that many houses are gutted and rebuilt at once, it's worth confirming the framing was fully dry before walls closed up, because moisture trapped behind new drywall or under new floors can surface as mold years later. Outside of floods, bayou humidity, heavy coastal rain and a long cooling season keep attics, ducts and bathrooms damp.

What affects the cost

Angi's Houston cost data reports most mold removal jobs between $863 and $3,329, with an average of $2,016. HomeGuide's 2026 national figures list $1,500 to $6,000 for 100 to 300 square feet and $6,000 to $15,000 for 300 to 1,000. Cost climbs with the area affected, the amount of drywall, insulation and flooring removed, attic or duct involvement and limited access. The consultant's protocol and clearance are a separate charge under Texas's two-company rule. Rebuilding then goes through the City of Dickinson's Building Permits & Inspections Division, which handles permit review, plan review, inspections and certificates of occupancy and posts the current FEMA Elevation Certificate form for applicants.

What happens when you call

Describe what you're seeing and what got wet, and you're connected with an independent local company. The consultant writes the protocol, the remediator follows it under containment, and the consultant comes back for clearance before you receive your Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation. Before work begins, check both companies on TDLR's license search and expect TDLR's Consumer Mold Information Sheet. Renters with leaks a landlord won't fix can use the city's online Report a Code Violation form, linked from the Building Permits & Inspections page, and can read TexasLawHelp's guide on repairs as general information.
