Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Richardson, 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
Floyd Branch is a line on a plat. Why would it wet a SpringPark slab in May?
Because at the headwaters it is not yet a channel. It is a swale in Houston Black. May rain opens the clay at the slab edge and the storm is already under the veneer before any creek would have a surface. The plat line is downstream of the problem.
We run the air conditioning hard and the floor sweats. Are those connected?
Yes, and they compound. Heavy cooling holds interior dewpoint against a slab that is already taking May water from below, so condensation lands on a surface that is wet underneath. Two sources, one floor.
The yard cracked in August. Why does the May stain still matter?
August is when Houston Black opens. May is when it takes water. The crack you see in late summer is the same joint that admitted the spring storm. Closing the gap in August does not dry the May load already sitting under the 1986 slab.
