Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Kokomo, IN
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 creek is right there and the water still will not go. Why?
It is too shallow to take it. Wildcat Creek runs as little more than a ditch across this plain, so once a slow storm fills it there is no depth left to drain into. Being near a channel is not the same as having capacity in it.
The yearly total is not extreme. Why do these basements still take water?
Leaving is the problem. Forty-four inches on sand would leave. On till with a shallow creek, melt and June sit. A basement is a hole in that perched layer, and crushed tiles from 1967 no longer move it. Camera the 1967 tile before blaming the creek; crushed clay pipe is how a modest June total still fills the hole.
A later infill house. Did that beat the till?
It may have a better drain on day one. The clay is the same, and the creek is the same outlet. If the new tile dumps to a swale that already sits on perched water, the house has a prettier path to the same problem. If the new tile dumps to a perched swale, the prettier drain is still a path into the same till.
