Piedmont sits in Canadian County — Oklahoma's fastest-growing county. Founded in 1903 (almost named "Mildred" before the founders chose "Piedmont," meaning "at the foot of the hills"), this community transformed from a small agricultural town into a thriving bedroom community when the Northwest Expressway opened in the 1970s.
On May 24, 2011, an EF5 tornado struck Piedmont, destroying approximately 180 homes and causing over $20 million in property damage. Many homes were rebuilt, but the rebuilding process and the homes that survived may carry legacies from that event.
With a median household income near $95,000 and home values continuing to rise, Piedmont residents have invested significantly in their properties. Understanding what's in your walls — whether from the tornado, from rapid development, or from decades of Oklahoma weather — matters for protecting that investment.
Common Mold Sources in Piedmont Homes
Piedmont's growth history and tornado experience create specific mold challenges. Here's what I commonly find:
Piedmont knows what tornadoes can do. My job isn't just finding what the 2011 storm left behind — it's telling you exactly what's in your walls now, so you can make informed decisions about your property.

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 Piedmont 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.
In a community that's experienced an EF5 tornado and continues to grow rapidly, honest answers about what's in your walls aren't optional — they're essential.
Piedmont Mold Questions
Yes. Even homes that were "repaired" after 2011 may carry hidden damage. Rapid reconstruction after disasters often prioritizes habitability over complete drying and remediation. Moisture sealed in during repairs can cause ongoing mold growth for years.
Tornado legacy considerations →Rapid growth creates pressure on builders. When demand exceeds capacity, construction timelines compress, quality control may suffer, and homes may be closed up before fully dried. New construction in high-demand areas warrants verification.
Rapid growth considerations →Homes from Piedmont's first growth boom are now 45-55 years old. Original plumbing, HVAC, and roofing are reaching end-of-life. These systems fail gradually, often creating moisture problems before complete failure becomes obvious.
Aging home considerations →Absolutely. Piedmont properties often include barns, workshops, and storage buildings from the town's agricultural past. These structures may have moisture issues independent of your main home — and you may not visit them daily to notice changes.
Outbuilding considerations →Ready to Know What's in Your Piedmont Home?
Not sure if you need an inspection? That's literally why you'd get one. Questions first? Fine by me.
