Why Cameron County projects need a licensed survey first

Brownsville and Harlingen combine historic downtown cores, mid-century schools and public buildings, and a wave of new investment tied to the port and the space industry. Renovating or demolishing the older stock means dealing with asbestos in floor tile, plaster, joint compound, and roofing, and Texas requires a licensed survey before that work begins on any public or commercial building.

TSEC has worked across Cameron County for cities, school districts, contractors, and property owners, and we answer the Valley line at (956) 520-2757. Consultants work in Spanish and English on site, and reports are delivered in the TDSHS format Brownsville and Harlingen permitting offices accept.

TSEC is an independent consultant — we don't perform abatement or remediation, so our findings in Brownsville–Harlingen are never shaped by a construction contract.

Mold assessments

Coastal humidity, tropical storms, and flat-roof commercial buildings keep mold assessment in constant demand from Harlingen to South Padre Island. TSEC serves as the independent licensed assessor — investigating moisture, sampling, writing the protocol, and clearing the work after remediation.
