Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Kaneohe, HI
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
Our side of the street is always wetter than the other. Real, or imagination?
Real. The pali is a rain machine, and a few hundred feet of distance toward the mountain is a different orographic load. Gutter capacity that is fine on the bay side can be undersized on the pali side of the same block.
Jalousie windows are original. Are they a leak path?
They are a designed gap. Trades push rain at those slats for months, and the tracks overflow rather than seal. Original 1970s jalousies on this coast are a wetting detail, not a failed window, and replacing them or shielding them is a bigger moisture change than a new roof sometimes is.
The house is toward the bay on fill. Different from the pali lots?
Different water. Pali lots take rain from the sky and the slope; bay-fill lots sit on former pond and wetland where the water table is the bay. A wet slab on fill is often groundwater, and a wet wall under the pali is often the mountain. The repair is not the same.
