Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Ashland, KY
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
Florence, Kentucky sits on karst. Why is this river town a different job?
Florence is Lexington Limestone south of Cincinnati. This stock sits on the Ohio at the Big Sandy. May rain here is a confluence and a combined sewer, not a swallow hole. The river is the drain and the threat; the rock is not Swiss cheese. South Ashland mill cellars want a confluence diagnosis, not a northern-Kentucky swallow hole.
The Ohio can be up while the Big Sandy is quiet. What has to coincide before mill streets flood?
Usually both, and that is the local pattern. The Ohio can be high and the terrace still drain through the Big Sandy. When they peak together the junction has no unused capacity, and the lowest blocks see channel water rather than hillside seepage. Catlettsburg and Kenova feel the same junction; one high river is a warning, two is the mill-street job.
The rivers dropped. Why is the hillside basement still wet?
Because that wall is holding the hill. Water that entered the slope above the house is still moving. The confluence sets the flood question; the cut sets the seepage question. A bench house above the terrace can stay wet on that cut for days, which is why a falling Ohio gauge is not a dry wall.
