Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Frankfort, KY
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.
The pro who inspects is the pro who quotes
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 capital sits in a gorge. Is that better drainage or a worse outlet?
Worse outlet. The palisades shed July's 5.44 inches onto a floor that can only dump into a river already filling the gap. 'Gorge' sounds like drainage; it works as a funnel. North Frankfort is the low end of it, so those streets surcharge while the bench above sends the same cells down joints in the limestone. Rock on both sides means one way out, and the town is standing in it.
The house is on the palisade bench, not the floor. Is the river still the job?
Not as flood. As karst, yes — that bench is limestone, and July cells go down joints and into the hillside basement. The floor is a river job. The bench is a karst job. Same wettest month, stacked in a gorge. A pump that works on the floor will not read on the bench.
1937 is the famous crest. Why does an ordinary July still stain North Frankfort?
1937 was the river at record. Ordinary July is the palisades plus a river that does not need a record to hold the outfalls. North Frankfort cellars take that combination most summers. Waiting for another 1937 is how the ordinary year gets ignored.
