Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Midland, 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.
The pro who inspects is the pro who quotes
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
Sixteen inches a year. How is a slab on caliche getting wet?
September is a large share of a small year, and hardpan will not take a cell. Water sheets, finds a draw or a playa, and sits against a pad that was detailed as if the desert never ponded. The plate wicks from that pond. The annual number hides the hour that actually arrives.
The draw behind the house looks harmless. When is it not?
On the afternoon a cell sits over the basin above it. Permian draws carry a season in an hour and then go empty for months, so the path is invisible most of the year. A pad graded toward one, or a garden wall in the historic flow, finds that out the first time September is late and heavy.
The drip line runs along one elevation only. Could that be moving the pad?
On Permian caliche, yes. A wet strip along one edge and a baked strip along the other is a gradient the slab will follow through the long dry months. Running the drip all the way around, or not at all, beats a green side and a tan side. Total gallons matter less than where they land.
