Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Keizer, 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
Labish was drained a century ago. Why is the peat still wet?
Drained is not dry. The ditches lowered the lake; they did not turn peat into upland. A winter water table still sits in that organic soil, and a 1981 crawlspace is a wood box in it. Summer can look fine. November through May is the lake reporting that it is still there.
December is 7 inches. Is the Willamette in the crawlspace or the peat?
Usually the peat. River flood is a mapped event; the monthly winter rain is the ordinary load. Peat holds that rain and feeds the crawlspace from below with the river still inside its banks. Flood is the exception. The peat is the season.
A slab on silt next to a drainage ditch. Whose water is that?
The ditch company's, in a way. Those tiles were laid to dry a lakebed for farms, and they still run. A house on that easement is sitting over a system that is doing its original job — moving water — which is the opposite of what a slab wants. The ditch is not broken; the land use changed.
