Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Norwich, CT
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
Three rivers. Which one is in the cellar?
On the Parade, often all of them as one water table. March rain fills the Yantic, the tide locks the Thames, and the Shetucket has nowhere to go. A 1957 cellar at that grade is a hole in the confluence. Naming one river is usually less true than naming the junction.
A house on Jail Hill. Is the confluence still the job?
Not as river. The hill is a cut in till and rock, and March cells wet the uphill wall. The confluence is the terrace. Treating a hill cellar like a Parade cellar will have you waiting on a tide that never reaches that grade.
The mill at the falls is quiet. Why is the race still wet?
The gorge still drops the Yantic through it. Fill over that race holds March water and feeds the cellars packed against the rock. The mill can be a museum. The hydrology is not, and a dry roof on a falls-side street will not change that.
