Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Garland, TX
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
Dallas is the next city west. Why is this creek-and-clay suburb its own May job?
Dallas drains to the Trinity on a mix of chalk and alluvium. Garland sits on Blackland clay at Rowlett Creek and Lake Ray Hubbard. May totals can look similar; the clay perch and the reservoir backwater are this suburb's paths, not the Trinity's.
There is no basement. Where would a May leak even hide?
Under the slab and in the veneer. A 1978 brick house has no cellar to inspect. Clay movement opens a plumbing joint, the leak wets the assembly from below, and the first sign is often a musty room rather than a puddle. No basement is not no moisture.
The clay is cracked in April. Is that a dry-house sign?
It is a path. Those cracks are how the first May storm finds the footing and how a plumbing joint starts to move. Blackland shrinks in the dry months and swells when the cell hits, so the slab is worked twice — opened, then loaded.
