Why mold is common in Texas

Texas's warm, humid climate, with around 36 inches of rain a year, keeps indoor moisture high, and storms and flooding add sudden water damage that leads to mold. The fix always starts with controlling the moisture, and for anything serious a licensed local pro is the right call.
