Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in New Braunfels, 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
The springs run all year. Why is May still the month that shows up?
Because the run has no spare capacity. Comal Springs is among the largest in the state and keeps that channel full before a cloud arrives, and the Guadalupe rises in the same month and meets it here. A May cell has nowhere to go at that confluence, so an older house on the bank takes artesian flow and storm water together. The spring is the baseline; May is the load on top of it.
The springs run clear on a dry day. Why is a Comal-side crawl still wet?
Clear is not low. Artesian flow does not wait on the cloud. An older house on that bank is in the run, and May rain only adds what the springs are already supplying. Closing the vents then traps spring air as well as storm water.
The 2006 slab is on the west side, off the river. Is the Guadalupe still involved?
As a flood, no. As a flash, yes. Edwards rock sheds May rain across those pads in minutes, and the first slab in a swale is the one that ponds. The river job is the confluence. The flash job is the rock.
