Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Castle Rock, 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.
Quoted on site by the contractor who visits
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
This is a dry climate. Why would a 2007 house take water in July?
Because almost the whole year arrives in a few cells. Nineteen inches is not a wet climate, but 2.83 of them in July on claystone that will not infiltrate is a flood on a pad. The covering dries and opens through the rest of the year, then the first cell finds the gap.
The butte is rock. Is the ground under the house rock too?
No, and that is the difference. These pads sit on expansive clay that heaves after the first wet July and opens the slab edge, so the formation you can see from the road is not the material under the foundation.
Plum Creek is a trickle most of the year. When does it matter?
In the hour a cell sits on the divide. The channel is sized for a trickle and then carries a month in an afternoon. Houses on the lowest grade in Crystal Valley see that pulse as yard and garage water, not as a river in the scenic sense.
