Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Novi, 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
The lot is not on a river. Why does the basement take water in May?
Closed basins. The ice left kettles with no stream out. May rain fills those holes, and a basement cut into one is the lowest point. A river lot would have a gradient. This ground does not, which is why a high-looking moraine lot still seeps.
Is this the same clay-till problem as Farmington Hills on the shared gauge?
The gauge is shared; the ground is not. Farmington Hills drains toward the Rouge. This side is kettle moraine: closed basins and a high table around the lakes. Writing both as flat Oakland till erases the mechanism that actually wets a Novi basement.
A 1993 house should have drain tile. Why would it still seep?
Tile assumes the water has somewhere to go. In a kettle the tile discharges into the same closed basin the house sits in. The year is new; the outlet is not. Pumping and grading that create a real outfall matter more here than the build date.
