Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Killeen, 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
Thirty-six inches a year. How is a slab on rock getting wet?
The Cut Plain will not take a May cell. Limestone and caliche shed, the water becomes a shallow flood across the lot, and a pad poured for a dry bench then has standing water at the plate. The annual total is the wrong figure; the hour of the cell is the one that matters.
The ditch behind the house is dry most of the year. When is it not?
On the afternoon a cell sits over the Cut Plain. These ditches carry a month of water in an hour and then go dry again. A pad graded toward one, or a fence built in the flow path, finds that out the first time May is late and heavy.
A watered lawn on one side, bare caliche on the other. Is that a slab problem?
On this limestone, yes. A watered lawn along one elevation and a baked caliche strip along the other is a moisture gradient the pad will follow. Fort-adjacent yards do this all summer. Even watering around the whole perimeter beats a green side and a tan side, regardless of gallons.
