Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Delaware, OH
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.
Local contractors · findings documented for your claim
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 lake is north of town. Why would the dam wet a Sandusky Street cellar?
The dam sets the pool for miles. May rain on a held Olentangy has no drop through downtown, so the extra goes into till and cellars rather than downstream. The lake is not scenery; it is the water table under the historic grid.
A 1995 slab on the west side. Is that still an Olentangy job?
Usually not. That stock sits on Crosby silt that ponds May rain at the plate because the farm tile was cut. The river job is downtown. The silt job is the new west. Treating both as lake flooding misses the farm drainage.
The neighbor's cellar flooded and then ours did. Are they connected?
Through the party wall, in effect. On the square these cellars share masonry, so water entering one moves along the shared wall into the next before either owner sees it. The first address to flood is not necessarily the one with the problem.
