Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Redmond, WA
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
There are old field drains under this subdivision. Do they still run?
They do, and not where anyone expects. Farm laterals still move water through the alluvium beneath houses that replaced the fields, so water arrives along lines no current plan shows. The farm drainage outlived the farm.
The house is on Education Hill. Is the river still in play?
Not as flood. The hill job is till shedding December onto the next roof down. That water lands in the valley, so a downhill crawl can take a hill storm with the Sammamish quiet. The two jobs meet at the break in slope. Willows and Overlake take the hill's December; the valley floor then holds it on peat, which is why both jobs show up in one city.
The house has settled and the crawl is wetter than it used to be. Related?
Same cause. Valley peat compresses under a 1990s pad, and as the ground gives, December rain perches where it did not before. The settlement and the water are one process, not two separate problems.
