Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Pascagoula, MS
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
The river stayed in its banks. Why is the slab wet?
Because the tide is in the fill. Marsh that was piled for the shipyard and the downtown still moves with the estuary. An August cell on a high tide has nowhere to go except into that pad. A calm channel is not a dry lot.
Is this the same as a Biloxi beach house?
No. Pascagoula's water is the river estuary and the shipyard canals, not an open Mississippi Sound beach. Surge here comes up the industrial channel and the marsh, and the older downtown sits in that path rather than on a dune.
A 1973 house on piers — is it above the problem?
The floor may be. The crawl and the piers are not. Salt splash and a wet fill under the house still wet the assembly from below, and August humidity never lets that crawl dry without mechanical help. Height is not the same as dry.
