Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Dunwoody, 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 crews · scoped at the property
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.
We dug down a foot and hit water moving sideways. What is that?
A perched sheet. The clay cap here is thin over granite, so a June burst spreads out about a foot down rather than sinking, and it travels sideways to whatever it meets. Shallow, fast, and invisible from the surface.
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.
