Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Dunwoody, GA
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
Nancy Creek never left its banks. Why is the uphill wall wet in June?
The wall is holding the cut, not the creek. June rain on clay over granite moves downslope through the yard and against the buried face. A dry Nancy Creek and a wet basement is a normal pair on these lots. Drainage at the cut is the job.
Duluth is also Piedmont clay a few miles north. Same cut?
Duluth sits on the Chattahoochee in Gwinnett with a 1994 median and a July peak. This is a DeKalb terrace along Nancy Creek, older 1984 stock, granite closer to the surface, a June peak. Both are Piedmont clay, but the stream, the age, and the cut geometry are not interchangeable.
Did a 1984 Dunwoody basement usually get a working drain?
Sometimes a pipe, rarely a working outfall. That era often laid tile that discharges into the same clay that perches. June keeps the face wet for days. The year is not a guarantee; the buried uphill side is the thing to look at.
