Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Cohoes, NY
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
Troy uses this river family. Why are the falls the tail here?
Troy sits on the Hudson terrace and on Wynants Kill races. This city sits on the Mohawk at the falls, under Harmony Mills, beside the Erie flight. Same July inches at the lock-and-dam gauge; different tributary, different cellar. A stain here is Mohawk fill, not a collar-shop race.
The locks are a park. Why would they still wet a mill cellar?
The flight still holds a pool. July rain on that pool has no drop through the mill terrace, so the extra goes into Harmony fill. Naming it a park did not lower the water. A 1954 cellar on that terrace is in the canal whether a boat is.
Watervliet is three miles down the Hudson. Same west-bank job?
Watervliet sits on the Hudson and the Arsenal. This city sits on the Mohawk junction. July fails here as falls and locks, not as arsenal fill. The west bank is a map fact; the water that wets the cellar is the Mohawk.
