Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Longmont, 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
2013 was St. Vrain. Does a house off the creek still take that kind of water?
Not that kind. Off the creek, May is laterals and hail, not a mountain flood. 2013 is the downtown story and it is real. Copying it onto a plains lot a mile from the channel misses the ditch that actually wets that basement. The creek is a corridor. The laterals are a grid.
The creek is nowhere near us and the basement is damp all summer. Why?
The ditches. A grid of irrigation laterals crosses these plains blocks and leaks all season, so a 1990s basement stays damp through months that barely register on a rain gauge. It runs on the irrigation calendar rather than the weather.
Sixteen inches a year. Why is a basement wet in July when May is the peak?
May is the rain peak. July is the irrigation peak. Laterals run when the gauge is quiet, and they leak into the same basements. A sump that runs in July on a dry week is the ditch, not a missed May storm. The 16-inch climate is the brochure. The lateral is the load.
