Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Champaign, IL
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
There is no hill and no river in town. Where does June's rain go?
Into the tiles, or onto the lot. The Grand Prairie has no grade to speak of, which is why it was tiled for corn. A June cell that exceeds the tile comes up through the sump and along the basement wall. Looking for a creek is the wrong map. The map is the old field drains under the subdivision.
The street did not flood. Why is there water on the basement floor?
Because it came from below. Tiles hold the prairie water table just under the floor, and a surcharge lifts it through cracks and the sump pit. Surface flooding and hydrostatic pressure are different jobs. A dry street is not a dry basement on this clay.
If the tile is still working, is the house dry?
Working is not the same as dry. A functioning tile keeps the field farmable; it does not keep a basement wall below the water it is carrying. The drain is a farm tool running under a 1985 house. It was never sized as a foundation drain, and a wet June shows the difference.
