Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Tigard, OR
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 assessors · no obligation to proceed
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 downspouts discharge onto the slope behind the house. Was that the plan?
It is what the plat called a yard. Downspouts on these 1988 lots dump onto the slope and the water arrives at the crawl below, so the drainage design ends at the wall of the house. The slope is doing work nobody assigned it.
Fanno Creek is a greenway. How does it wet a house a street off?
It is the cut. December fills it, the hillside weeps into it, and a crawl at the break of slope is in that water. You do not need the creek in the yard; you need the hill draining to it.
Tualatin is the next town on the river. Why isn't that confluence the job?
Tualatin sits on the river flats. This city sits on Fanno Creek where it leaves Bull Mountain. December water here is a hillside wall and a cut, not a main-stem flood. Scoping it from the confluence inward will start on the wrong tributary.
