Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Port Jervis, 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.
Quoted on site by the contractor who visits
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 roofs above drain onto this lot before the river even rises. Is that the problem?
It is the first half of it. Benches above shoot June roof water onto the yard lots well before the Delaware can accept anything, so the lot is loaded ahead of the river. By the time the confluence peaks, the ground is already full.
We were told the outside of this wall cannot be dug. Is that right?
Usually it is. The masonry sits too tight against the surrounding ground to re-excavate, so the standard exterior repair is physically unavailable and the work has to move inside. The constraint is the site, not the diagnosis.
The cellar was wet by morning with nothing overnight. From where?
Buried yard tracks. The old railroad ground still carries water into confluence cellars with no rain involved, so it arrives on a dry morning. Paving over the yard did not disconnect it.
