Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Palm Beach Gardens, 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.
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
The lakes here are decorative. Do they take water or hold it?
They hold it, once the wet season is under way. Excavated basins fill from the same table the slough is on, so by June they are already carrying water rather than accepting more. Nothing has to overtop for them to stop working as storage.
There is a slough behind the development. What does it do in a wet month?
It fills and stops accepting. The slough and C-18 take the wet-season load together, and once the canal is high the wetland fill under these pads holds its own table. The water is delivered by the grid, not by a tide.
A 1995 PGA tract looks new. Why would June still sit in the slough under Valencia?
New covering is not a raised slough. The boom poured slabs onto Loxahatchee-edge fill. Later lakes and a wider garage do not lift C-18. June's 9.22 inches still finds the wetland grade. The first reading belongs at the canal, not in an attic that was built yesterday.
