Moore has been through more than most cities. The 2013 EF5 tornado destroyed 1,150 homes and caused $2 billion in damage. That level of destruction — and the massive reconstruction that followed — created mold risks that still affect Moore homes today.
After the tornado, thousands of homes were rebuilt or repaired quickly. Contractors flooded in from out of state. Insurance claims needed to close. In that rush, moisture problems got sealed behind new drywall. Water damage from firefighting efforts got painted over. Leaks from hasty roof repairs went unnoticed.
Moore became the first U.S. city to adopt tornado-specific building codes in 2014. Homes built after that are safer in a storm — but they're not immune to mold. And homes built before? They're still vulnerable to both.
Common Mold Sources in Moore Homes
Moore's unique history — a mix of older homes, post-tornado reconstruction, and newer developments — creates specific mold risks depending on when and how your home was built.
Moore has been through disasters that most cities never see. That history is still in the walls of homes across this city. When I inspect a Moore home, I'm looking at what happened during reconstruction — not just what happened last month.

Why I Do Things Differently
I spent over a decade as an ER nurse. I learned that the best outcomes come from honest assessments, not hopeful guesses. "Your leg is broken." "That's going to need stitches." "You probably shouldn't have skipped that last step on the ladder."
Now I apply that same approach to homes. When I inspect your Moore property, you get the truth — not a sales pitch for remediation I'm hoping to sell you.
I don't do remediation. I can't. My only job is to find what's there and explain what it means. If you need work done, I'll give you a list of contractors I don't work for and don't get paid by. Then I leave.
Moore has seen out-of-town contractors flood in after disasters. Some reputable, some not. I'm local to the OKC metro — and my business model only works if I'm honest with you.
Moore Mold Questions
Yes — especially if your home was rebuilt during the rush after the tornado. Contractors worked quickly under insurance pressure. Some cut corners. Others were out-of-state crews unfamiliar with Oklahoma construction. If moisture was trapped during reconstruction, mold has had over a decade to grow.
Read about post-tornado mold risks →Not directly. Moore's 2014 building codes improved wind and storm resistance, not moisture management. New homes are safer in a tornado, but they still have HVAC systems that condense moisture, plumbing that can leak, and tight construction that can trap humidity. New doesn't mean mold-proof.
Learn about building codes and mold →It can be. After the tornadoes, thousands of Moore homes added underground or garage storm shelters. These enclosed spaces trap humidity, especially if drainage isn't perfect. If your shelter smells musty or you see condensation on the walls, mold may be growing.
Storm shelter moisture issues →Homes in Old Moore, Northmoore, and Sooner neighborhoods were built in the 1950s-80s with different standards. They often have cast iron plumbing that corrodes, bathroom fans venting into attics, and foundations that have cracked over decades. These create moisture entry points newer homes don't have.
