Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Medford, MA
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
Malden is three miles east. Is this the same Fells runoff?
Same reservation, different outlet. Malden sheds into Spot Pond Brook and a boxed river. Medford sheds into the Mystic Lakes, the reservoirs, and a dam at the Square. December's total can look similar; the controlled head of water is the local mechanism.
The lakes look pretty. Why would they wet a cellar at the Square?
Because they are a reservoir. A full lake in December has to spill, and the dam is the gate. Cellars downstream are in that pool. Scenic water is still a water table with a dam on it. Scenic water is still a water table with a dam on it, and cellars downstream are in that pool.
If a map lists Davis Square on this row, whose water is it actually?
Somerville's. Those names leaked across the line. Medford's water is the Mystic, the Fells reservoirs, and the dam at the Square. A wet cellar here is a controlled head of lake water, not a Davis Square party wall, and the repair that works in Somerville will not find this dam.
