Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Delray Beach, 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.
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
June splash keeps wetting the bottom course. Is that a wall problem or a ground problem?
Ground first, then the detail. A 1980s CBS wall relies on its weep screed to release whatever gets into the block, and on this shelf that screed often sits within a few inches of where June puts the table. Splash off a hard surface finishes the job, so the wall takes water from both directions at the same course. Move the grade and the splash away from the base and the screed can drain the wall instead of admitting the shelf.
Inland of the dune, on Lake Ida. Is Atlantic overwash still the story for the shelf?
Not the sand. Inland lots sit on a Lake Ida shelf the Intracoastal holds up, and June rain plus a high tide locks that outfall. The beach is an overwash story. The lake is a bathtub story. Using one for the other will send you to the surf from a lot that never sees a wave.
Lake Worth Lagoon up, Delray gauge quiet. Does the dune still push salt into a 1983 plate?
Yes, through the sand, not over the seawall. The ridge is a sponge tied to the Atlantic. A moon tide wets the crawl of the dune from below while Lake Ida holds the inland side. June is optional. The ocean is not.
