Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Boulder, CO
An assessor determines whether mold is present, identifies where it is growing, and measures how far it has spread — before any remediation quote is issued. 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.
Independent local crews · scoped at the property
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
A Flatirons canyon pulse is over in hours. Why is the fan house still wet on Wednesday?
The pulse is Boulder Creek. The hangover is the Fountain Formation. Water that entered the conglomerate above a cut house is still moving downslope days after the channel has dropped. Downtown's flood is a few hours. The fan seepage is a multi-day job, and they are not the same May event.
Snowmelt is not rain. Does that still count as May's 3.02 inches in the basement?
On the creek bottom, yes, and then some. May here is melt plus a storm, delivered down a canyon. The yearly 19.68 inches looks small; the pulse is not. A cottage on alluvium takes the Front Range's May in hours, which is a timing problem the annual number hides.
Fountain conglomerate looks like good bearing. Why would a 1977 cut wall still seep?
Bearing is not drainage. That era poured against the fan and trusted the grade, often with no tile on the buried face. Conglomerate conducts as well as it carries, so the wall is a dam on a wet cut. The fix is a drain at the fan, not a coating on the inside of 1977 concrete.
