Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Waco, 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
The slab was fine all summer and wet in October. Why then?
Because summer does the preparation and October does the filling. Blackland clay opens cracks you can put a hand in. The first fall storm drops down those cracks, wets the underside, and the clay then swells against the slab. A dry August is not a dry house; it is an open one.
We sit above the Brazos. Is the confluence still involved?
For terrace lots, as groundwater, yes. A crest raises the water table in the alluvium even when the bank holds. For clay lots away from the terrace, no — that is the shrink-swell path. Distance to the Bosque is a test of which mechanism you have, not of whether water can arrive.
The grade now slopes to the house. Can that be the whole job?
It can be the splash half. Forty years of settling and bed-edging often reverse a 1979 grade. October then puts water against the plate. It will not explain a crack that opened in August; that is the clay. Two findings, two fixes.
