Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Pasadena, 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 band moved through hours ago and the pad is still taking water. Why?
The bayou cannot dump. With the Ship Channel setting the tailwater, Vince has nowhere to discharge, so a September band sits on the grid until the channel falls. The rain ends long before the drainage resumes.
Nothing showed on the pavement and the slab is wet. Where is it from?
The fill holds its own table. Ground laid along the channel keeps water independent of anything happening on the street, so a slab can wet while the road stays completely clear. Pavement is not evidence here.
The clay cracked the slab in August. Then September rained. Which one is the leak?
Both, in sequence. Beaumont clay opens in the dry heat; September's 5.85 inches then uses those joints. The crack is the clay. The wet is the rain. Closing the crack without regrading Vince-side downspouts invites the next tropical band through the same opening.
