Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Richmond, 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
This is not Richmond, Virginia. Does the river story differ?
Yes. The Virginia city sits on the Fall Line of the James, granite west and tidal east. This is a Whitewater gorge through Indiana till, 1957 National Road stock, a June peak. Copying a Shockoe Bottom playbook would miss the gorge cut and the till plain.
The river dropped. Why is the uphill wall still wet?
That wall is holding the gorge, not the channel. June rain entered the till and shale above the house and is still moving downslope. The East Fork sets the flood question on the lowest streets; the cut sets the seepage question. They are not the same job.
Is a house on the till plain a gorge problem?
No. Till-plain basements seep from perched June water with the gorge irrelevant. Gorge houses fail at the buried uphill face. One storm, two mechanisms. The 1957 median averages them.
