Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Littleton, 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.
The pro who inspects is the pro who quotes
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
The High Line is a ditch, not a river. Why would a basement along it wet?
Because it is a full ditch for weeks in May. Snowmelt keeps it charged, and unlined or leaky reaches put that water into the terrace. A walk-out that faces the easement is looking at a water table, not a park. The Platte can be behaving itself the whole time.
Eighteen inches a year. How is the Platte a moisture problem?
The annual figure is the wrong one. May melt plus a Front Range burst puts a season into the channel in a week. Terrace groundwater rises with the river even when the bank holds. A basement on that terrace is a hole in a water table the mountains are still filling.
The house is a 1982 walk-out. Was the canal in the original grading?
As a view, yes. As a drain, often no. Lots were sold to the easement as if the ditch were decorative. Walk-out floors sit near ditch grade, and May is when that grade is a water surface. Interior coatings will not stop a canal that is leaking on the other side of the patio.
