Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Cohoes, NY
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.

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.
The river dropped and the terrace is still wet. What is holding it?
The locks. The canal flight keeps a pool against the mill terrace whatever the river below is doing, so the ground stays charged after the peak has passed. The level that matters here is impounded, not flowing.
