Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Rock Springs, 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.
Independent local assessors · no obligation to proceed
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
Ten inches a year. Why close the crawlspace at all?
Because the winter is long, not because the rain is heavy. A closed crawlspace at this elevation traps whatever moisture was in the ground at freeze-up and holds it until May. The annual total is small; the season the space cannot dry is not.
Clinker under the lot looks like gravel. Treat it as drainage?
Treat it as a pipe you did not install. Burned-coal clinker transmits water laterally, so a wet crawlspace with a dry yard is a clinker signature. Finding where that bed daylights, or cutting it off with a trench, is the repair; waiting for a wetter climate is not.
The old brick storefront weeps and the new house next door does not. Age?
Assembly. Lime mortar was meant to pass moisture, and at 10 inches a year that is usually a stain, not a flood. The new house is framed and flashed differently. Painting the brick shut is how a stain becomes a spall.
