Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in College Station, 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.
Quoted on site by the contractor who visits
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
Sand is supposed to drain. Why is a 1999 slab still wet a week after May?
The sand is a skin. Under it, Brazos clay perches water in pockets with no surface outlet. A May cell fills those pockets, and a slab over one of them sits in a bathtub the yard never shows. The surface drained. The lens did not.
Waco is also on the Brazos. Is this the same Blackland swell?
Waco sits on shrinking-swelling Blackland that opens in summer. This terrace is post-oak sand over clay, and May perches rather than cracks-and-swells. The river name is shared; the soil is not. Scoping it as Waco clay will chase joints that are not the opening.
Carter Creek is a ditch behind the apartments. When does it matter?
When May has already filled the perched lens. The ditch is then the only leftover capacity, and it surcharges into the lowest pads. A stain along Southwood Valley after a wet May is often the creek using the slab as a bank, not a roof.
