Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in New London, CT
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 submarine base is upriver. Is that the flood source?
Not the main one. The Sound and the Thames mouth set the tide on this peninsula. A northeaster raises both from the ocean side; the base is a neighbor, not the hydrology. A cellar downtown wets from the cove, and Ocean Beach wets from the spit.
Why does October matter more than a summer thunderstorm?
Because October is storm-tide season here. The rain total is only half the story; the Sound is already high, and a northeaster holds it there. A summer cell can dump and leave. An October northeaster wets a cellar and then freezes the joints around that moisture.
Is a house on the spit a different job from one on the hill above the base?
Yes. The spit is overwash and a water table the tide sets. The hill is seepage in pre-war basements. One fails from salt and spray; the other from grade. Treating them as the same coastal problem wastes the diagnosis. One fails from salt and spray; the other from grade. Treating them as the same coastal problem wastes the diagnosis.
