Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Marietta, 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
Smyrna is five miles south. Is this the same water?
Not the same channel. Marietta sheds off Kennesaw toward Noonday Creek; Smyrna sits on a different drainage toward the Chattahoochee. A wet crawlspace on Whitlock is mountain runoff on residual clay, not Rottenwood bottomland. The gauge can be shared; the path is not.
The mountain is rock. Why is the yard clay?
Because the rock weathers in place. Residual clay over granite looks like dirt and behaves like a pan. March rain sheets on it, and a crawlspace on the downhill side of a cut is the first opening. Amending the topsoil does not change the pan underneath.
A 1987 slab cracked after a wet March. Is that the storm or the clay?
Both. Piedmont clay moves when it wets, and March is when it wets. The crack is the slab reporting that movement, and the same opening is then a path for the next cell. Closing the crack without draining the edge just waits for April.
