Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Fort Collins, 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
Sixteen inches a year. Why is May the month basements here actually move?
Because May is melt plus rain on the Poudre's schedule. The annual total is small, but a large share of it arrives as water already in the channel and in the alluvium, plus whatever the hogbacks shed. The gauge in town is a poor account of what the ground is doing.
The 2013 water went down streets that look fine now. Is that still the path?
Yes. The Poudre has not moved. A 1992-median basement on that path is still the low opening, and a smaller May peak will use the same streets even if it never makes the national news again. The map of the last flood is the map of the next one.
We are on the hogback, well above the Poudre. Out of it?
Out of the channel, not out of May. A hogback lot is a steep catchment, and melt plus rain run to the uphill wall in minutes. You trade a river problem for a grading and retaining problem, which is the other half of this town's May.
