Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Edina, MN
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
Bloomington quotes the same July number. Why is peat the tail here?
That city sits on river bluffs where frost and melt do the work. This one sits on creek peat and kettle lakes. Same 4.89 inches, different path: a 1971 basement on a Cornelia pocket is in a wetland the plat called a lot. Frost is a winter story. Peat is a July story.
Minnehaha Creek is a parkway. Can it still wet a rambler a block off?
When July fills the corridor, the water table in the peat rises sideways, and a basement at that grade is a hole in the creek. You do not need water over the parkway path; you need the peat full. A rambler a block off the named water can still sit in that table.
A rise two streets from Cornelia. Is that still a peat job?
Usually not. Till on the rises perches rain and sends it into original tile; the peat is downhill. A wet wall on the rise is a clay-tile story. Treating every wet basement in town as a lake-peat problem will have you looking at Cornelia from a lot that never touches it.
