Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Cheyenne, WY
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.
No obligation: the assessment comes before any scope
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
Hail hit the roof but there is no leak. Is that the end of it?
Not necessarily. Hail commonly removes the protective granules and bruises the mat without producing an immediate hole. The covering is then degraded and admits water in a later storm, which is why damage found after the fact is often traced back to an event months earlier.
Fifteen inches of rain a year. Why does runoff still cause problems?
Because of how it arrives and what it lands on. High-plains soil is compacted and dry, so infiltration is low, and the rain comes in short intense bursts rather than steadily. A large fraction of a small annual total becomes surface flow in a very short window.
Does elevation change anything about drying?
It helps outdoors and does little inside a wall. Thin dry air moves surface moisture quickly, but it does not reach a cavity that is wet behind finishes. What altitude reliably does is intensify the temperature swing across a day, which works joints and sealants harder than the climate averages suggest.
