Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Colorado Springs, 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 neighbor's house is the same year as ours and does not move. Why do we?
You are probably on different rock. The Front Range side is granite and alluvium; a few miles east is Pierre shale. A 1986 house on shale will cycle with moisture and a 1986 house on granite will not. The city line does not pick a soil.
Fountain Creek is down the hill. Is the water our problem or the creek's?
On the west side, yours becomes the creek's. Steep lots shed July storms, and a downspout aimed at the slope is a gully starter that undermines backfill before anyone sees a channel. The creek is only the outlet; the lot is where the water picks up speed.
Hail in July, drip in August. Related?
Usually. Hail bruises the mat without opening a hole that afternoon, and the covering fails in the next rain. An August stain after a July hailstorm is one of the more common delayed leaks on this side of the Palmer Divide.
