Wylie grew up as a railroad stop in the 1880s east of Plano, with a brick downtown along Ballard Avenue and a ring of pier-and-beam cottages around it, and then sat quietly between Lavon Lake and Lake Ray Hubbard until the 1990s. The subdivisions that followed, off FM 544 and along Brown Street, are 1990s through 2010s brick houses on slabs, and the city now reaches well past 50,000 people.
Wylie is also the town the April 11, 2016 hailstorm is remembered by. Softball-size hail, with a 4.25-inch report in the southeast part of the city, broke windows, stripped shingles, and punched through skylights across Wylie that evening, and Wylie ISD closed schools the next day. Roofs patched late or disputed with carriers through that summer put rain onto decking and insulation for months, and the attics under them went dark. Add the usual Blackland clay under the slabs, and Wylie gets both kinds of mold call: the slow slab leak and the roof that let a storm in.
Wylie residents who call this line reach an independent local mold provider, who meters the house and writes the scope. We connect the call; the work and any contract belong to that company.
Dark decking and matted insulation under a roof replaced the winter after the 2016 storm is attic mold remediation. A soft baseboard in the hall of a 1999 one-story is mold removal, with the slab line traced first. Growth behind the plaster of a 1920s Ballard Avenue cottage after a galvanized line pinholed is also mold removal, worked around lath rather than drywall, and a damp crawl space under one of those cottages is mold odor removal.
Wylie's eastern edge runs along Lavon Lake, the Corps of Engineers reservoir that has supplied the North Texas Municipal Water District since the 1950s and the water that comes out of every tap in Wylie, Plano, and most of Collin County.
Call (972) 787-0657 and tell us what you see. We put you through to a local mold provider serving Wylie.
Growth on drywall after a slab leak, a water heater, or a washer box let go: room sealed, wet board cut to the meter line, framing HEPA-cleaned and dried.
A dark patch handled by how far the water traveled, not its color: containment up, porous material out, hard surfaces cleaned, the leak fixed before closing.
A slab leak that ran for months or a line that split in a freeze and soaked several rooms, mapped wall by wall and cleared in zones as one project.
Coil, drain pan, and condensate line cleaned or replaced when the attic air handler sweats through a 100-degree Plano summer and drips into the ceiling below.
Growth behind a vanity, under a shower pan, or on a ceiling with a weak fan, removed after the supply line or the drain leak behind it is repaired.
Growth on roof decking under hail-cracked shingles or around a sweating duct, cleaned and treated once the roof and the insulation are put right.
A musty smell in a house that looks fine, traced to the wet pad under the floor or the drywall behind a cabinet, then removed and treated.
Drywall, texture, baseboard, and cabinet bottoms put back after removal, once the slab reads dry and the plumber has fixed what started it.
