Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Aldine, TX
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.
The pro who inspects is the pro who quotes
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 bayou is a mile away. Why would June still sit at the slab?
Because the prairie has no fall to get there in time. Clay here will not soak a 6-inch month, and the tributaries that should take it are already high, so the water waits at the pad. Distance to a named bayou does not create slope. A 1975 slab on this ground is a low point in a shallow lake the storm just filled. Grade and gutters are how you stop being the lake's shoreline.
We are on piers. Does standing June water under the house matter if the floor is up?
It matters to the skirting, the piers, and the air under the floor. Water that sits after every cell keeps the crawl at saturation, and tight skirting traps it. Raising the floor does not dry the soil. Openings in the skirting, a cover on the ground, and a fall that actually leaves the lot do more than waiting for a bayou a mile away to 'take it.'
Would gutters on a house this low even discharge anywhere?
They concentrate the roof's share of 6 inches so you can send it to the least-bad point — a ditch, a neighbor's agreed swale, anything that is not the slab edge. Without them the whole roof lands in a ring around a pad that already cannot drain. Gutters do not create a bayou. They stop you from pouring the storm into the ring.
