Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Kennewick, WA
An assessment establishes whether mold is present, where it is growing, and how far it extends — before anyone quotes removal. 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.
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
Nine inches a year. How is a crawlspace on this terrace a moisture job?
Irrigation, not rain. Laterals and the Columbia's held pool keep cobble wet all summer, and a 1979 crawlspace is a wood box in that table. The rain gauge is a distraction. The ditch is the load, even in a year that barely reaches nine inches.
A slope house on Horse Heaven. Is the canal still the diagnosis?
Not always. Loess pipes the rare December drizzle under the pad with a dry curb. The canal is a terrace story. A wet corner on the slope after a freeze-drizzle is a silt tunnel, and looking at a lateral two miles down will miss it.
Frozen fog, rain gauge at zero. Can that wet a sill?
For days. Fog on this river is liquid water on cold wood, and a sill at grade takes it. A meter that is up in December with no storm is often fog, not a leak, and a roof inspection will not see it.
