Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Corning, 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.
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 flats here are made ground from the glass works. How does that behave?
It holds and then releases. Glass-works fill takes a June rise and gives it back slowly into the cellars built on it, so the ground stays charged after the channels have dropped. Made ground does not drain like the terrace beside it.
Cohocton looking minor next to the Chemung. How does it pin a glass-works cellar in June?
The furnaces were graded to one river. Two peaks fill the leftover slag. Painted Post can drain; the confluence cannot. Walk the Cohocton side of the flats when the Chemung looks calm. That is the fork that stole the outlet.
Glass-works floor or Cohocton bench. Which June stain is slag, and which is the cut?
Slag flats take both rivers. The bench takes only what the hillside still holds. A furnace-row cellar with Chemung high is the confluence. A damp uphill wall with a dry street is the cut. One pump setting will not serve both.
