Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Tyler, 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.
Quoted on site by the contractor who visits
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
Black Fork looks minor on the map. Why would it beat a roof leak to the slab?
Because the clay perches it. June rain on this piney-woods pad does not have to overtop a bank; it finds the crack a dry spell opened and sits under the floor. Distance to the Neches is a poor test. The creek is the local drain, and the clay is the container.
Rose laterals cut back in a dry May. Does Black Fork clay still move a 1978 brick plate?
The clay does not forgive a one-sided yard. Rose water on the east and baked ground on the west is a hinge. June's 4.78 inches then uses that hinge. Keep a ring of even moisture; the Neches will not save a pad that cracked in May.
1978 brick on Black Fork clay. Why would a sound roof still leave a June stain at the bottom course?
The roof is not the plate. Brick veneer on slab puts the bottom course in the splash zone, and June ponding against that wall is enough. Looking up finds shingles. Looking at grade finds the clay, which is where this stock actually fails.
