Not every stain is mold, and not every musty smell means the whole wall has to come out. An inspection tells you what you’re actually dealing with before you spend a dollar on remediation.
In Texas, mold assessment — visual inspection, moisture mapping, and lab-analyzed air or surface sampling — has to be done by an independent, TDLR-licensed assessor, not by the company that performs the removal. Occupations Code §1958.155 bars one company from both testing and remediating the same project, which protects you from a tester who has a reason to inflate the job. If your situation calls for testing, we’ll point you to a licensed assessor and work from their written protocol.
