Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Eagan, MN
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 kettle has no stream leaving it. Is that why the walkout stays wet?
Yes. A kettle is a closed bowl. June rain has nowhere to go but the water table in that bowl, and a walkout poured on the lake margin is a hole in that table. Outlet-less is the whole hydrology, not a missing ditch someone forgot to dig.
The house is on the bluff, not the bottoms. Why would the river still matter?
The bluff sheds to the river, so every lot is a step on that staircase. A cut basement takes what the hillside above it passes down, and June is when that volume arrives. Being above the floodplain answers the overbank question and leaves the seepage question open.
A 1988 basement should have drain tile. Why is it still a June problem?
The tile is only as good as where it dumps. Many of these plats outlet into a swale or a neighbor's yard that later construction filled. Tile that once had a fall now sits in a bowl, and June rain then recirculates at the footing instead of leaving.
