Healthy Homes for Texas — From Coastal Humidity to West Texas Dry
Home Health Score assessments statewide. Founding Mr Hemp House® dealer territories open by ZIP code — from Houston and Austin to Dallas-Fort Worth and beyond.
Heat and cooling load
Texas summers drive some of the highest cooling costs in the country. Thermal mass, vapor-permeable walls, and superior envelope performance reduce cooling load beyond what R-value alone can measure.
Wind and severe weather
Tornadoes, straight-line winds, and hurricanes make Texas one of the most wind-exposed markets. Monolithic bio-based wall systems provide structural resilience conventional insulation can't.
Indoor air quality
Texas homes are sealed hard for cooling efficiency — which traps VOCs, formaldehyde, and off-gassing chemicals inside. Home Health Score assessments identify what's actually in the air.
What Climate Zone 2A-4B Means for Texas Homes
Texas spans multiple climate zones — Gulf Coast hot-humid to West Texas hot-dry to North Texas mixed-humid. Wall systems must handle wide temperature swings, radiant heat gain, drought and flood cycles, and the country's most severe wind exposure in tornado alley.
Local code requirements vary by jurisdiction in Texas. We confirm the governing code and any local amendments with your building department before design.
Start With Your Home Health Score in Texas
Virtual Healthy Home Assessments available in Texas. In-person coverage expanding.
Home Health Score
A free screening that scores your home across indoor air quality, moisture and mold risk, building materials, and ventilation — so you know where to look first.
Healthy Home Assessment
A professional walkthrough of materials, moisture conditions, and ventilation, delivered as a prioritized action plan. Screening and guidance — not a medical or diagnostic service.
