Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Brookhaven, GA
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 crawl fills after a storm the roof barely noticed. Why?
The house is on the bottoms. Peachtree Creek and the North Fork come up into bungalow crawls from below after a July cell, so what fell on the roof has little to do with how much water arrives. Position on the lot decides this, not the gutters.
The house is infill on a slab. Is the creek still in play?
Not as overbank flow if the lot is off the bottom. The slab job is clay runoff into a swale that still feeds the North Fork. A downhill bungalow can take an infill lot's grade with the creek quiet. A downhill crawl on the North Fork can take an infill lot's grade with the creek quiet, which is why the slab still matters.
A new house went up next door and now we take water. Coincidence?
Unlikely. Piedmont clay sheds nearly everything that lands on it, so an infill lot regraded above you sends the same July cell straight into the slab below. The rain did not change; the surface uphill of you did.
