Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Newnan, 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 house is new and on a hill. How is December already under the slab?
Saprolite is not a drain. Residual clay over granite sheds until it perches, and a hill lot still has a low edge. December's peak finds that edge. Age of the house is not a defense; the soil does not care that the median year is 2004.
Half the pad sits on fill. Does that matter years later?
On Piedmont saprolite, yes. The granite cut does not move like the residual-clay fill, so a joint opens along that line years after the pour. December water follows the joint under the pad. A crack that returns in the same place is the cut-fill reporting, not a one-time finishing defect.
There is no hatch in a 2004 pad. What are we missing under the vinyl?
Because there is no basement to inspect and the clay will not let a leak drain away. Water travels under the floor until a closet shows it. In this stock that is a common first call, and it has nothing to do with the sheet flow in the yard.
