Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in South Fulton, 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 house is new. Why is there a wet line on one side of the slab only?
That is often the cut-fill line. Tracts on this clay were benched, and the buried cut is a shelf that water follows. July rain lands on the lot, hits that shelf, and shows up at one plate. The other side sits on fill that drains differently. New construction is not a defense against a grade that was built into the pad.
A filled pond used to be on this land. Does that still matter?
It can. Farm ponds and wet swales were filled to make lots, and that fill holds a lens. A 2003 slab over one of those spots can sit on wet ground in July while the next house, on native clay, does not. If the damp follows one patch of floor rather than a wall, look at what was filled, not at the roof.
July here is not the wettest-looking month on a Gulf forecast. Why does it hit so hard?
Because the clay is already loaded from June, and a 5.35 inch month of short bursts never gets a drying day between them. Piedmont red clay seals rather than drinks. The Gulf total can look larger; the local problem is a sealed bench and a slab with no drain under it.
