Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Schertz, 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
May is only a little over four inches. Why does a 2002 slab show it?
Because the clay opened first. Spring shrinkage leaves a gap at the plate, and a 4.35 inch cell runs down it before the soil swells shut. A new tract pad on Houston Black is not exempt. The number is modest; the gap is not. Look at the edge in April, not only at the storm in May.
We are not on the Balcones. Why isn't limestone the job?
This city sits on Blackland and Cibolo silt. May here is shrink-swell and a creek table, not a joint in Edwards rock. Scoping it as a Hill Country seam will chase the wrong hole. The frontal month is shared along this corridor; the clay is the local half.
The creek is down. Why is the lower slab still damp in May?
Down is not empty. Cibolo on this clay stays high in the soil after a 4.35 inch month, and a 2002 pad on the lower lots sits in that table. A dropped surface is not a drained plate. If the damp is on the creek side of the house, the table is the reason even when the channel looks calm.
