Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Amarillo, 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.
No obligation: the assessment comes before any scope
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
There is no river to carry water off this plain. Where does August rain go?
Into the playas, and then nowhere. Caprock basins collect the runoff with no channel to take it away, and caliche absorbs very little, so a modest month becomes surface flow that sits. A pad on a playa rim is in the low point.
Almost twenty inches a year. Why is a slab wet after one August storm?
Because the ground will not take it. Caliche sheds, the playa has no outlet, and a 1973 pad on that rim is where the water waits. The annual total is modest. The delivery is a closed bowl.
Palo Duro is a canyon. Is that the drainage for this city?
For the park, not for these lots. Most of the city sits on playas that do not reach the canyon. August water here is a closed basin on the Caprock. Looking down into Palo Duro will miss the bowl the house was poured in.
