Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in West Palm Beach, FL
An assessment establishes whether mold is present, where it is growing, and how far it extends — before anyone quotes removal. 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.
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
Palm Beach is across the lagoon. Is this the same island problem?
No. That is a barrier island. This city is the mainland ridge and the filled sloughs behind Lake Worth Lagoon. August rain here either sheets off the ridge or sits in old wet prairie. It is not ocean overwash, and the diagnosis should not treat it as the island.
The street was a slough. What does that mean for a slab?
It means the lot was wet before it was a lot. Fill over peat and muck still holds water, and August's 8.68 inches finds that memory. A slab on a former slough wets from below even when the ridge two blocks west sheds cleanly.
The wall feels dry. Why open the block?
Because block does not dry on the same schedule as paint. Water in the cores can remain for weeks. Closing a repair on a dry surface is how growth comes back a season later in this climate. Closing a repair on a dry surface is how growth comes back a season later in this climate.
