Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Decatur, GA
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
Kirkwood and East Lake are on the OSM list. Does a crawl in Oakhurst share that hydrology?
Treat those names as Atlanta leaks. This city's water is the Piedmont ridge, Peachtree Creek, and the South River. A wet crawl in Oakhurst or Winnona Park is a clay-cut story on the Decatur side of the line. Following Kirkwood will send the visit into the wrong city.
Marietta's story is Kennesaw and the Chattahoochee. Why would July here be a ridge job?
Because this town does not sit on that river. It sits on a divide. July's 5.11 inches has to pick Peachtree or the South River, and a lot on the cut sheds into whichever one it was graded toward. Copying a Chattahoochee diagnosis east will put the meter on a river this ridge never sees.
The square is dry by afternoon. Why is the crawl still wet the next week?
Clay does not give the water back on a schedule the pavement uses. A wall poured against a cut stays in contact with material that stays loaded. July's cell is gone; the clay is not. Ventilating the crawl with July air then adds humidity instead of removing it, which is why the next reading is often worse than the first.
