Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Juneau, AK
An assessment establishes whether mold is present, where it is growing, and how far it extends — before anyone quotes removal. A mold inspection locates moisture and growth that a room-level look would miss, reading wall cavities, subfloor, and the areas behind finished surfaces. The result is a scope: what is affected, what has to come out, and what is driving the moisture.
Most people reach this page after noticing something rather than after something broke: a smell that returns, a stain that spreads, a room that feels damp. An inspection answers what is actually there and where the moisture comes from, which is the information every later decision depends on. Several states, Texas among them, keep assessment and remediation as separate licensed roles specifically so the party identifying the problem is not the party selling the fix. Nothing here is medical advice — if you have health questions, those are for a clinician.

Frequently asked questions
Sitka and Ketchikan are wetter. Why is an 88-inch year the problem here?
Because the rain hits a channel bench and an outwash fan, not a drowned fjord or a switchback harbor. Sitka's muskeg is tidal. Ketchikan's is a cliff. Juneau's is Lemon Creek gravel and a Douglas face. September here is a funnel, not a total. The plant gauge is local; the crawl is on that outwash.
The house is on Douglas. Is the channel still the source?
The channel is the funnel. The slope is the job. Douglas takes the same September cell on a steeper face, so the uphill wall weeps while the Juneau bench ponds. Treating both sides as one waterfront misses which way the rain is running.
Lemon Creek looks like a ditch. How does it wet a crawl a street off?
It is glacier outwash. The water in the gravel is the table under the floor. September fills that fan, and a 1982 crawl on pilings sits in it with no overtopping. Looking at the creek banks will miss the job under the house.
