Housing stock in Austin

29% of roughly 466,428 housing units predate 1980, and 56% of occupied homes are rented. Age of stock matters for water losses because older assemblies dry more slowly and older supply lines fail more often — and tenure matters because who pays for remediation turns on it. Who pays →

Austin restoration: common questions

How many restoration firms are there in Austin?

We hold verified credential records for 47 firms in Austin, of which 12 appear in two independent registries and 27 hold an active Texas licence on file. That is a count of what we could verify, not a count of every firm operating here — a firm we hold no record for is simply one we could not check.

What are Austin restoration firms certified in?

The credentials most often on record here are WRT (Water Damage Restoration Technician, 27 firms), ASD (Applied Structural Drying Technician, 21 firms), FSRT (Fire and Smoke Damage Restoration Technician, 18 firms), AMRT (Applied Microbial Remediation Technician, 16 firms). Each was checked against IICRC's own registry rather than the firm's marketing.

Does Austin require a licensed mold contractor?

Texas requires a licence for 25 contiguous square feet of mold (licence required for remediation above this; assessment has no such exemption) (Tex. Occ. Code §1958.102(c)), issued by Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) — the rule is statewide, not local. A license holder may not perform both mold assessment and mold remediation on the same project — Tex. Occ. Code §1958.155(a), with a common-ownership bar at §1958.155(b). The assessor's document the statute requires is a written work analysis (§1958.151); the remediator prepares the work plan (§1958.152).

Is older housing a factor in Austin?

29% of Austin's roughly 466,428 housing units were built before 1980. Older stock more often carries galvanised or cast-iron supply lines, cavity constructions that dry slowly, and materials that predate modern vapour control — which is context for a water loss, not a prediction about any particular building.
