Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Glens Falls, NY
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 Feeder Dam is downstream of the falls. Why would it wet a mill cellar?
Because the dam sets the pool elevation for the terrace. It is not a distant floodwall; it is the water table under the paper blocks. When July rain adds to a pool that cannot drop, the extra has to go into fill and cellars rather than down the Hudson.
Mechanicville is also a Hudson dam town. Is this the same lock-and-power job?
Same river, different dam. Glens Falls is a paper-mill drop into the Feeder Dam and the Feeder Canal. Mechanicville is a Champlain Canal hydro town. July totals can look alike. The container is not. Do not copy a canal-lock diagnosis onto the Feeder Canal.
Paper races under the Feeder Canal are gone. Why does a mill cellar still take the Hudson pool dry?
The Feeder Dam never dropped the terrace. Buried wood and stone still connect to the pool. A clear sky over Queensbury does not empty that. The stain is the dam, not a storm, and it will be there tomorrow.
