Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Plano, 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
Cracks appear in summer and close in winter. Is that a foundation problem or a water problem?
Both, and they feed each other. The clay shrinks when dry and swells when wet, moving the slab. The gaps that opens alongside the foundation then act as a direct channel for the next rain, so seasonal movement becomes a water entry path even when the slab itself is sound.
Is watering the foundation during drought actually a real practice?
It is, and the reasoning is soil moisture stability rather than the concrete. Keeping the clay from drying unevenly reduces differential movement. Done carelessly it creates the opposite problem by saturating one side, which is why uniformity matters more than volume.
How would a slab leak show itself in a house with no basement?
Usually as something warm or loose underfoot rather than as visible water. The line runs under the concrete, so an escape saturates soil and works upward through the slab, surfacing at grout lines or as a section of flooring that has lifted. Sound and dampness arrive late.
