Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Sedro-Woolley, 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
November is dark more than it is stormy. Why is the crawl wet for months?
Because 7.02 inches lands on silt that cannot dry in short days, and the next front arrives before the last one has left. A 1984 crawl on this floodplain sits in that table from November into spring. The problem is the season, not one thunderstorm. A ground cover and a real air path matter more here than a single gutter repair.
The river is in its banks. Why name the Skagit?
The banks are not the table. Floodplain silt stays wet because the river holds it, and a 1984 crawl is close enough to feel that even when the channel looks calm. You do not need a flood map for a November crawl job. You need the season and the silt.
A house against the foothills took water on one wall only. River or slope?
Slope, if the stain is uphill. The creeks off the Cascades shed onto that wall in the same November that wets the floodplain from below. A river stain is under the floor on the flats. An uphill wall stain is gravity from the hills. The month is shared; the wet elevation is the map.
