Why Rio Grande Valley projects need a licensed survey first

The McAllen–Edinburg–Mission metro is one of the fastest-growing regions in Texas, and growth means renovation — of 1960s–1980s retail centers, schools, clinics, and municipal buildings that were built with asbestos-containing flooring, joint compound, ceiling texture, and roofing. Texas requires a licensed asbestos survey before renovation or demolition of any public or commercial building, and Valley cities expect the report with the permit package.

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

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

Lead-based paint inspections

The Valley has an active pipeline of HUD-funded rehabilitation, housing-authority units, and older neighborhoods built before 1978. TSEC provides certified lead-based paint inspections, risk assessments, and clearance testing for housing agencies, landlords, daycares, and school districts throughout Hidalgo County.

Lead services →

Mold assessments

Subtropical humidity, flat-roof commercial buildings, and periodic flooding make mold a constant concern in the Valley. TSEC provides independent mold assessments, written remediation protocols, and post-remediation clearance for homes, apartments, schools, and clinics.
