Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Brighton, 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.
No obligation: the assessment comes before any scope
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
Fourteen inches a year. Why would a basement seep?
The ditches, not the rain gauge. Irrigation keeps alluvium wet that would be dry shortgrass. May's 2.34 inches lands on that table while snowmelt is in the Platte. A wet-climate number is the wrong test; the lateral and the river are the water bodies that reach the wall.
Does being in the metro tell you what is under this basement?
No. What matters on this ground is which ditch runs beside it. This city sits well down the South Platte on former beet-field alluvium with a 1999 boom of basements, and the irrigation companies that keep that alluvium wet are local to it. May's 2.34 inches is the wettest month of a 14.39-inch year, and it lands while snowmelt is still in the river. Ask for the lateral and the year of the cut, not the region.
A 1999 basement should have tile. Why does May still wet it?
Tile that discharges into a ditch already running high is not an outlet. May snowmelt and irrigation fill that ditch. The year is new; the receiving water is the Platte system, which is busy in the same month the rain peaks.
