Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Corpus Christi, 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
How much does salt air really shorten the life of a roof detail?
Enough to change the inspection interval. Corrosion attacks fasteners, flashing and drip edges from the moment they are installed, so a detail rated for decades inland can degrade noticeably faster here. Most coastal leaks trace to a corroded connection rather than a failed covering.
Is surge or rainfall the bigger risk for a house here?
They damage differently and need separating. Surge is a contamination event: anything porous it touched comes out, regardless of appearance. Heavy rainfall through a compromised envelope is often a drying problem rather than a removal one. The first question after any storm is which of the two you actually had.
What should be checked before the tropical season each year?
The details that corrode and the ones that block. Flashing and fasteners for rust, sealant at penetrations for degradation, and gutters and site drainage for anything that would reduce capacity. All of it is cheap to inspect in June and expensive to discover in September.
