Independent Mold Assessment & Inspection.
Comprehensive building evaluations that look beyond visible growth to find the moisture sources and structural conditions fueling mold.
Find the root cause before planning the solution.
A mold assessment begins with understanding the cause. Identifying mold is only one part of the investigation. The real value comes from determining why it developed, where moisture is entering the property and what needs to happen next.
ATX Mold Solutions provides conflict-free mold consulting and objective diagnostics in Austin for Homeowners, Realtors, Property Managers, and Restoration Professionals.
Every assessment is performed by a TDLR-licensed Mold Assessment Consultant (#MAC2302) and led by a 30+ year building construction and restoration expert, strictly adhering to the work practices established by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR).
The purpose of a professional mold assessment is to determine the exact source, location, and extent of microbial growth, identify the underlying physical conditions that caused it, and deliver the buildable data required to prepare a formal Mold Remediation Protocol (MRP).
Assessments performed to Texas standards
Every property is different, but every assessment follows a structured process designed to provide accurate findings and practical recommendations.
Our goal is to identify the root cause of the problem, not simply document the visible signs of mold. By understanding how moisture is moving through the building, we can recommend the most appropriate next steps while helping property owners avoid unnecessary work or expense.
Forensic moisture investigation
Every assessment begins with a thorough inspection of all accessible areas of the property.
Using non-destructive FLIR infrared thermography and calibrated moisture meters, we trace moisture pathways back to their source. Rather than focusing only on visible mold growth, we investigate the building conditions that allowed it to develop in the first place.
Occasionally, additional investigation is needed before the source of water intrusion can be confirmed. In these situations, limited building materials may need to be opened or disturbed. If further investigation is recommended, we'll explain why it's necessary, what it involves and obtain your approval before any work begins.
Targeted air and surface sampling
Not every property requires extensive mold testing. When physical testing is appropriate, we collect targeted air or surface samples using nationally accepted methods and submit them to a TDLR-licensed laboratory with 24-hour turnaround available.
Every sample is handled in accordance with Texas regulations, including proper documentation, sample identification, preservation methods, chain of custody procedures and laboratory analysis performed by a TDLR-licensed facility.
Testing is recommended when it provides meaningful diagnostic value – not as a routine part of every assessment.
By collecting only the samples needed to confirm the source and extent of the issue, we help keep your project focused, your reporting accurate and your costs under control.
Executive Risk Summary
Once the assessment is complete, you'll receive a clear, data-driven report explaining exactly what we found and what it means for your property.
Your report may include:
Moisture investigation findings
Areas affected by mold growth
Laboratory results, where applicable
The underlying causes of the moisture issue
Photographs and supporting documentation
Recommendations for the next phase of the project
Rather than creating unnecessary concern, we focus on explaining the property's moisture dynamics, fungal conditions and structural factors in a way that's practical, straightforward and easy to understand.
When remediation is required, the assessment becomes the foundation for a detailed Mold Remediation Protocol.
Start with the right information
A successful remediation project begins with an accurate assessment.
