Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Huntington, WV
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
The floodwall is right there. Does that cover it?
It handles the Ohio and nothing else. Rainfall behind the wall still has to be pumped over it, and during the exact river stages the wall exists for, there is no gradient to discharge into. The protection is real and it moves the failure point from the channel to the pump station.
It has not rained and the Ohio is rising. How?
Because the water fell upstream. The Ohio drains an enormous catchment and the stage here reflects rainfall from days earlier and hundreds of miles away. The useful part is that the warning time is real, unlike runoff coming off the hills behind the city.
What is the weak spot in a basement from the 1950s?
That it was built as structure and not as a barrier. Nothing below grade contributes — no drain tile, no damp-proof coating — so the only thing keeping water off the wall is the shape of the ground outside it. Seven decades of settling and added paving usually means that shape is no longer what it was.
