Testing & Assessment
Mold Inspection & Testing in Pasco, WA
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
Seven inches a year. Why would a crawlspace ever be wet?
Irrigation, not rainfall. The Basin project keeps sand wet that would be dry desert. January's inch lands on that already-high table in the coldest month. A wet-climate number is the wrong test; the canals and the confluence are the water bodies that actually reach the house.
Kennewick is a mile away. Is this the same job?
Same basin, different side. This city sits at the confluence on the Franklin side, with irrigation laterals and a slightly different grade. Kennewick names in a neighborhood list are across the river. Diagnose the lateral and the confluence, not the Tri-Cities label.
A 2001 house in a desert should be dry. What was missed?
The desert was irrigated. Crawlspaces went in over sand the canals wet, often without a capillary break that matches that table. January then adds the year's rain when nothing evaporates. The build year is new; the hydrology is project-era, not desert-era.
