The city itself is covered on our home page. Plano has 293,028 residents (PEP 2025) and a median home built in 1993; 64 percent of its housing dates from 1970 to 1999 and 18.4 percent predates 1980, which is why asbestos and lead questions come up before tear-outs in east and central Plano while west Plano's 1990s two-stories bring attic air handlers and condensate problems.
Water here arrives from above and below. DFW averages 37.01 inches of rain a year with peaks in May and October, summer dew points sit in the mid-60s °F, and nearly every home sits on a slab over Houston Black clay that shrinks and swells with the seasons. Add the February 2021 freeze, when about 50,000 Plano homes lost power and pipes burst across the city, and the hail of June 2012 and April 2016, and you have most of the reasons a mold request starts here.
The cost guide and how a Texas mold job works apply in every town below. Texas licensing is statewide, so the assessor and remediator split, the 25 square foot rule and the Certificate of Mold Damage Remediation are the same everywhere; only the permits and the housing change.
Each page is written for that place: its housing era, its weather history and what to ask before you hire. Population figures are Census Bureau 2025 estimates; housing age is from the 2024 ACS five-year data.
About 12 miles northwest in Collin and Denton counties. 236,955 residents (PEP 2025, up 18.2 percent since 2020), a 2009 median year built and only 1.5 percent of homes from before 1980. Two-story homes with attic air handlers, and one of the four cities hardest hit by the April 11, 2016 hail.
Frisco detailsThe Collin County seat, about 13 miles north-northeast. 236,001 residents (PEP 2025), a 2007 median year built, a pre-1940 downtown core on pier-and-beam and 2000s master-planned stock everywhere else.
McKinney detailsBorders Plano on the west, southwest and south, about 6 miles northeast. 113,447 residents (PEP 2025), a 2003 median year built and 69.4 percent owner-occupied. Same Blackland clay as Plano and the same 2016 hail path.
Allen detailsAbout 5 miles south, two-thirds in Dallas County and the northern third in Collin. 118,542 residents, a 1986 median year built and 43.9 percent of homes from before 1980, the oldest stock in the set. Cast-iron drains, asbestos-era materials and a large apartment inventory.
Richardson detailsAbout 9 miles east between Lavon Lake and Lake Ray Hubbard. 63,842 residents (PEP 2025), a 2006 median year built and 77.4 percent owner-occupied. The April 11, 2016 hail affected roughly 80 percent of homes and caused more than $300 million in damage in Wylie alone.
Wylie detailsBetween Plano and Wylie on FM 544, about 5 miles east. 20,985 residents, a 2005 median year built and 93.7 percent owner-occupied, with 63.6 percent of homes built in the 2000s, so plumbing and HVAC age in step across the whole city.
Murphy detailsAbout 12 miles west in Denton County on Lewisville Lake. 46,196 residents, a 2001 median year built and 21.3 percent of homes from before 1980, the original 1970s Fox and Jacobs tracts, beside newer lakeside subdivisions.
The Colony detailsAbout 12 miles west-southwest across Dallas, Denton and Collin counties. 134,562 residents, a 1988 median year built and 26 percent of homes from before 1980. Housing much like east Plano, with 1970s and 80s slabs and roofs.
Carrollton detailsPlano is mostly in Collin County with a small part in Denton County. Richardson and Carrollton straddle Dallas County; The Colony is in Denton; Frisco sits across Collin and Denton. The state mold rules do not change at the county line, but building permits do. Mold cleaning itself usually needs no permit, while plumbing, foundation, HVAC, roof and wall rebuilds do, and each city issues its own: confirm with Plano Building Inspections in Plano and with your own city's building department elsewhere. County matters for disaster declarations too; FEMA DR-4586 (the 2021 winter storm) and DR-4781 (the May 2024 storms) both cover Collin County.
Companies that reply through this site also cover Prosper, the fast-growing town north of Frisco where most homes were built after 2010, and Far North Dallas, the part of the city of Dallas south of Plano and Richardson with its mix of 1970s and 80s homes and large apartment communities.
