Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Fulton, 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
Every roof on this row drains toward the next house down. Was it laid out that way?
It is what the canal cut produced. Lots step down toward the water, so each roof discharges onto the property below it and the last one takes everything. The layout follows the cut rather than the drainage.
The lock is downstream. Why would it wet a house on the mill terrace?
Because the lock sets the pool elevation for miles. Lock 2 is not a distant floodwall; it is the water table under the mill flats. When October rain adds to a pool that cannot drop, the extra has to go into fill and cellars rather than downriver.
Lock 2 slips are paved. Why does a mill cellar still take the Oswego Canal on a dry October day?
The lock sets the pool whether boats move. Paved slips still sit in that pool. A dry gauge at Fulton is not a dry table. October rain is extra. The canal is the baseline, and it does not take weekends off.
