Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Leander, 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 creek on the lot. Why did the slab take water after a dry May day?
Rock. May rain can leave the surface at a joint upslope and travel in Edwards limestone to a low pad. A 2013 slab then wets from a seam with no inlet on the grass. If the damp is a patch in the floor rather than a wall stain, look for a joint, not a gutter.
The sprinklers hit the house. Is that enough water to matter on limestone?
Yes, and it can outrun May. Thin soil over rock does not store irrigation; the extra runs to the stone base every morning from April to October. That is more water on one wall than a 4.23 inch month spread across the lot. Heads that stop short of the veneer are usually the whole repair on that elevation.
A house east of us sits on clay. Same May problem?
Same month, opposite ground. East of the scarp the remaining Blackland shrinks and swells; on the limestone the water travels in rock. A clay-edge job at the plate is not a seam under a 2013 pad. The escarpment is the split. Naming May for both without naming the rock mixes the repairs.
