Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Florence, KY
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
Covington takes Ohio River water. Why is this city different?
Elevation and rock. Those river towns sit on the terrace. This one sits on Lexington Limestone south of the bluff. Flood is not the job; karst is. June rain that a terrace house would see as sewer surcharge, this house sees as a wet wall with no river involved.
A small depression keeps coming back after we fill it. Worry?
On this limestone, yes enough to look. A repeating dip, a downspout that drains faster than it used to, or a lateral that never seems to stay dry can mean a void opening. Concentrated water dissolves the rock. Spreading the discharge is cheaper than a surprise hole.
The basement is from 1985. Shouldn't it have a drain?
Many do, and the drain still has to outlet. On karst that outlet can be a ditch that is also a swallow hole, or a storm sewer that drops into rock. A tile that dumps into the same limestone the rain is using is not a way out; it is a way in from another direction.
