Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Roswell, NM
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
It has not rained in weeks and the slab edge is damp. From where?
From below. This is an artesian valley; groundwater is close to the surface whether or not the monsoon has fired. A damp slab edge in a dry month is the water table, and a rain gauge is the wrong instrument for it.
Is gypsum actually a sinkhole rock here?
It can be. Gypsum dissolves faster than limestone, and a downspout or a leaking line that empties in one spot will enlarge a void in valley beds. A depression that keeps returning after being filled is worth treating as a water-concentration problem, not as settling.
If we stop irrigating, does the slab dry out?
It may dry at the edges and not at the core. Irrigation is an extra load on a system that is already wet from below, so cutting it helps the gradient without turning the valley into a dry site. The artesian water is still there.
