Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Decatur, 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.
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
The street dried hours ago and the crawl wall is still wet. Why?
The cut is still draining. A house cut into the ridge holds saturated ground behind the buried wall long after the surface has shed, so the wall runs days behind the pavement. Street condition is not the indicator here.
This lot sits on a divide. What does that mean for drainage?
It means the grading picked a side. July rain has to go toward one drainage or the other, and a lot on the divide sheds into whichever one it was cut toward. Two neighbors can send the same storm in opposite directions.
The square is dry by afternoon. Why is the crawl still wet the next week?
Clay does not give the water back on a schedule the pavement uses. A wall poured against a cut stays in contact with material that stays loaded. July's cell is gone; the clay is not. Ventilating the crawl with July air then adds humidity instead of removing it, which is why the next reading is often worse than the first.
