Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Boca Raton, FL
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.
Independent local assessors · no obligation to proceed
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
El Rio versus the beach strip. Does a Delray overwash explain a ridge-canal slab?
The numbers are. The cut is not. Here the El Rio and the coastal ridge set a canal-and-karst job inside the city; Delray's beachfront is a different geometry. A wet slab along El Rio is a ditch at tide level, not a beach overwash. Do not copy a beach diagnosis onto a ridge canal.
No roof leak, but the guest-room slab is staining. Is El Rio in the limestone?
It can be. The coastal ridge is karst, and the canal already holds the table at tide. June water that drops into a solution hole can travel and leave at a guest-room joint with no tile failure. El Rio does not have to overtop; it only has to keep the rock full.
The canal is a feature. Why would a 1983 house along it wet?
Because the feature is a cut to tide. June keeps the canal high, and lots graded to the water sit in that table. A view lot is a water-table lot. Interior coatings will not stop a canal that is leaking on the other side of the patio.
