Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Gresham, OR
An assessment establishes whether mold is present, where it is growing, and how far it extends — before anyone quotes removal. 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.
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
Portland is the next city west. Why is this east-county winter a different job?
The Gorge and the Butte. Portland's inner city is a Willamette winter on older stock; Gresham sits where Gorge winds and a volcanic butte meet the Sandy. December rain here is wind-driven and hill-shed, which is a different entry than a Portland crawl on flat inner-east silt.
Vents were supposed to dry the crawl. They ice up in December.
They are importing the Gorge. Outdoor air from November through March is near saturation, and the wind just pushes more of it through. Closing or conditioning the crawl in this season is the approach that matches the air that is actually out there.
We are on the Butte, not the Sandy. Out of the river?
Out of the channel, not out of December. A Butte lot is a steep catchment for the house below, and the whole wet season runs along the uphill wall. Elevation trades a river problem for a shedding and a wind-driven-rain problem.
