Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Carrollton, 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.
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
The yard looks fine. Why is there moisture under a Carrollton slab after May?
Clay opened a path. Winter shrink opens cracks under the pad; May rain uses them. The lawn can stay light while the pad is wet. A dry yard is not a dry slab on Blackland inside the Beltway.
The lot slopes toward the house. Was it built that way?
It was graded that way. Boom-era lots here were cut so the yard falls back toward the foundation, and close to five inches of May rain then sits in a clay bowl against the wall. On clay that will not drain, the grade is the whole problem.
A 1988 Carrollton slab should have been engineered. Why does May still matter?
Engineered for load, not for a perched May table. Boom grade toward the house and clay that perches 4.94 inches will wet a pad that was never given a real outfall. The year is the boom; the soil map is older.
