Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Arvada, CO
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 creek is a quarter mile away. Is the fan still in play?
Fans are broad. Overbank flow follows old swales that are now backyards, and a May burst can put water across a fan without the main channel leaving its banks. Distance from the current creek is not distance from the fan.
How is this different from a house against Green Mountain?
The water arrives in a channel, not as a sheet off a slope. Hogback lots fail from runoff and rock; fan lots fail from a fast rise in a defined path. Same storm, different geometry, and the drainage fix is not the same.
Fill from an old flood under the basement. How would anyone know?
Uneven floors, a wall that wets in one corner after every May storm, and soil in the sump that does not match the yard. The creek has been moving material through this fan for a long time. A basement poured on that mixed fill sits in a path that predates the house.
