Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Sandy Springs, 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.
Quoted on site by the contractor who visits
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 on the river road is wet through March and dry by summer. Why the season?
The bottoms hold a table in late winter. March keeps the Chattahoochee flats charged, so a river-road crawl sits in it until the season turns and the level drops. By summer the same crawl has nothing feeding it.
The house is on the ridge, not the river road. Is the Chattahoochee still in play?
Not as a table. The ridge is clay seepage and runoff onto the next wall. The river table is the bottom job. Elevation settles the flood question and leaves the drainage question open, which is why a dry river view is not a dry basement on the ridge.
March is an odd peak for Georgia. What does a late-winter cell do that July does not?
It lands on cold, already-wet ground. A July thunderstorm can be heavier and still leave, because heat pulls moisture out. March's 4.96 inches sits in clay that has not dried since winter, and the crawl stays in that wet until spring actually arrives.
