Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Fort Myers, FL
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
River District on a shelf. Do Cape Coral's finger canals explain this slab?
The numbers are. The geometry is not. Cape Coral is a finger-canal city dug in spoil. This side is a dredged river on a limestone shelf, with surge coming up the Caloosahatchee. A wet slab in the River District is a river-and-karst job, not a finger-canal overtopping. Do not copy a canal-city diagnosis across the water.
August never touched the tile. How is the hall closet wet on a limestone shelf?
The Caloosahatchee shelf pipes. A solution opening takes the wet-season dump and an interior joint gives it back, often a closet, with the roof behaving. A surge up the river can load the same rock from the canal side in the same week. Two entries, one exit, no shingle involved.
The house was rebuilt after a storm. Why is the water table still the old one?
Because the shelf did not get rebuilt. A 2001 or later CBS can sit on the same low limestone the cottage sat on. New walls do not raise the ground. August still finds the canal and the rock. Age of the finish is a poor test of the hydrology underneath.
