Texas has no separate water damage restoration license — only mold work requires a TDLR license. Structural reconstruction requires a general contractor registered with the Texas Secretary of State.
IICRC WRT (Water Restoration Technician) and ASD (Applied Structural Drying) certifications are the industry standard for extraction and drying. Not required by Texas law but recognized by all major TX insurers as proof of competency.
Key Facts — Texas Contractor Licensing
- Mold work requires a TDLR license — a general contractor license alone is not sufficient
- Texas does not require a separate state license for water damage extraction and drying — only the mold remediation phase is licensed
- TDLR mold contractors must carry at least $300,000 general liability insurance per occurrence
- The same company cannot hold both a Mold Assessment and Mold Remediation license in TX — these must be separate firms

License Verification — Tyler, Texas FAQ
Do water damage contractors need a license in Tyler, Texas?
Water damage extraction and drying itself does not require a separate state license in Texas. The mold remediation phase does: Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) issues it, and doing mold work without it is a violation the state can act on.
Verify the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation license before work begins, and ask separately for IICRC certification — WRT for drying, AMRT for mold — which is the credential that speaks to the work rather than the paperwork.
How do I verify a mold contractor's license in Tyler, Texas?
Go to www.tdlr.texas.gov/LicenseSearch/ and search by the contractor's company or individual name. Confirm the license type is Mold Assessment Consultant (MAC) or Mold Remediation Contractor (MRC) and status is Active with a future expiration date.
Also verify their IICRC certification at iicrc.org/find-an-iicrc-certified-firm. When searching TDLR, use the company's full legal name — not their DBA (doing business as) name. If in doubt, ask the contractor for their TDLR license number directly.
What is the penalty for hiring an unlicensed contractor in Tyler, Texas?
Performing mold remediation or mold assessment without a TDLR license is a Class A misdemeanor in Texas — up to $25,000 fine per violation under TX Occupations Code §1958.
Beyond the legal risk to the contractor, you face real consequences too: your homeowners insurance may deny the claim if unlicensed work is discovered, your state warranty protections may be void, and improper remediation can leave mold behind — costing more to fix correctly the second time.
What should licensed water damage restoration cost in Texas?
Licensed restoration contractors in Texas use Xactimate pricing — the same software insurance adjusters use. Typical statewide ranges: residential single-room events $1,500–$4,000; basement flooding $3,500–$10,000; sewage backup $5,000–$18,000.
Category 3 events (sewage or floodwater) cost more due to full decontamination requirements. Always get 2–3 written estimates — the lowest bid from an unlicensed contractor is never the right choice.
What is IICRC certification and is it required in Tyler, Texas?
IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) is the national professional certification for restoration technicians — a technical credential, not a government licence, and the two are separate things to check. WRT (Water Restoration Technician) is the one that matters for water damage; S520/AMRT covers mold.
Ask the company for its certification number and check it yourself at iicrc.org/find-an-iicrc-certified-firm, because a certificate can lapse between a company earning it and turning up at your house. Whether Texas also requires a state licence is covered above.
Who do I call right now for water damage?
Call (888) 840-6512. The line is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and connects you with an IICRC-certified water damage restoration company that serves your area.
Describe what you can see — where the water is coming from, how long it has been there, and whether it smells — and the dispatcher routes you to a crew that handles that kind of loss. If the source is a pipe or an appliance, shut the main water valve first; the call itself takes under two minutes.
