Guy is a small farming community in southern Fort Bend County, and mold remediation here usually follows roof leaks, plumbing failures, AC condensation or heavy rain. Texas requires one company to assess the mold and a different company to remove it. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local mold remediation company in Guy.

Local conditions in Guy
Guy is an unincorporated community at SH 36 and FM 1994, about 18 miles south of Richmond, 2 miles southeast of Needville, and roughly 36 miles from downtown Houston. Farms surround it, and homes sit spread out along rural roads. The climate is the same Gulf Coast mix found across the region: long, humid summers, heavy rain on flat clay ground, and air conditioning that runs most of the year. With homes far apart and some rooms or outbuildings used only now and then, a slow leak can go unnoticed long enough to become a remediation job.

| Step | Who | Timing or rule |

Signs to look for
- Spotting on walls or ceilings after a storm
- A damp smell in a room that stays closed
- Rot or dark staining on wood framing or floors
- Growth around the AC air handler or vents
- Mildew on stored tools or furniture in a room that stays closed most of the year
Timing and local offices
Plan around travel: Guy is a long drive from most companies, so ask whether the assessor and remediator can schedule close together. Fort Bend County Health and Human Services does not take mold complaints in unincorporated areas. For rebuilding, Fort Bend County Engineering issues development permits for work in a floodplain or flood-prone area and for enclosed structures or slabs of 400 square feet or more; check your property on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center. Keep the Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation and the clearance report with your property papers; a buyer is entitled to copies of any certificate issued in the five years before a sale.
