Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Dearborn, MI
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
Livonia is the next Rouge city west. Why is the main stem a different May job?
Livonia sits on the Middle Rouge parkway at mill-pond grade in a ranch grid. Dearborn sits on the main stem next to the Ford plant, on industrial fill. Same May family; one is a park corridor, the other is a mill river and a factory yard.
Springwells sits against the Rouge plant. Is that industrial groundwater even when the river is down?
It is. Ford-yard fill holds mill water that does not wait on a street flood. A 1952 basement against that fill is a hole in a plant table, and May rain then adds to a reservoir the Rouge and the yard already set. A down river is not a dry Springwells wall.
Is a Ford Homes brick basement built to drain?
Rarely. Those walls were poured against alluvium for a company town, often with no exterior tile. Seventy years later the assembly is still the original one. Moisture work here is drainage at an old wall, not a new-house flashing detail.
