Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Davenport, IA
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
Bettendorf is the next city east. Why is this not the same bluff-and-loess story?
Because this side is the flats. Bettendorf climbs; downtown and East Davenport sit on the pool above Dam 15. The 2019 crest was a river-and-sewer event here and a bluff-runoff event there. Same June humidity, two elevations, two jobs.
The dam is holding the river. Does that mean the flats are dry?
It means the pool is managed, not that it is low. A crest can still be passed through, and even an ordinary pool holds a water table in the silt against 1967 basement walls. A quiet dam is not a dry cellar on this alluvium.
Water came up the floor drain during a June storm that did not overtop the bank. How?
From the combined sewer. The flats still run combined in places, so a slow June cell that fills the pipes comes back through the lowest opening. The river can stay between its walls while the basement takes the neighborhood's runoff.
