Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Collierville, TN
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
A hole opened at the edge of the slab. What causes that?
Piping. December rain carries fine loess out from under a 1998 pad and cuts a throat at the edge, so the void shows at the perimeter first. That is soil leaving, not concrete failing, and it deepens every season it is fed.
A hole opened beside a 2000s slab after December. Plumbing?
Often loess, not a pipe. This silt collapses when it wets, and December is when it wets. The hole is the ground reporting a throat. Filling it without draining the edge just waits for the next month. Filling it without draining the edge just waits for the next month, and the next throat opens beside the last.
These houses are new. Why would a slab take water?
New is not high. Lots in the Wolf bottoms were graded out of floodplain and loess. A slab on that grade still sits on a winter water table, and a downspout that dumps at the corner is wetting the same silt. Age of the roof is not the diagnosis.
