Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Landen, 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.
Independent local crews · scoped at the property
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 soil is sandy. Why does May still wet a basement wall?
The sand is only the top. A silt or till band underneath perches a 4.94 inch month at the depth of a 1980s basement, so the lawn drains and the wall weeps. That is the opposite of a clay-surface flood. If you wait for puddles you will miss the month. A damp lower wall after a storm that never stood in the grass is the band, not a sprinkler.
The river is down the hill. Why would its level show up in the tile?
Because the tile's outlet is the terrace edge, which is only as low as the river will let it be. When May holds the Little Miami up, that outlet drowns and the tile becomes a loop. You do not need river water in the yard. You need a month that takes the receiving stream away from a drain that was counted on in 1985.
Would extending the downspouts off the corner fix a perched-band problem?
It stops you from pouring extra May onto the band at the wall, which is the part you control. The band will still perch what falls on the lot; it will perch less right against the coating if the roof water lands elsewhere. Combined with a working well drain, that is usually the 1980s package. The river outlet is a separate, harder move.
