Independent mold inspection in Pasadena from a TDLR-licensed assessor. A $550 flat fee, lab results in one business day, and no remediation to sell, so your report tells you the truth about your home.
Mold Risk in Pasadena
A mold inspection in Pasadena, TX starts with the house itself. Most homes here were built in the 1970s, and a lot of them have been through at least one major flood since.
Most Pasadena homes were built in the 1970s, and Golden Acres dates to the 1940s. Aging supply lines, original ductwork, and worn tub surrounds let water reach framing slowly, often for years before anything shows.
Harvey dropped about 33.5 inches of rain on Pasadena in three days, and some neighborhoods took up to eight feet of water. Walls that were dried in place instead of opened up are where hidden growth tends to start.
Between Houston and Galveston Bay, long humid stretches slow drying after any leak. Attics, wall cavities, and closets on exterior walls stay wet longer than they look.
Tropical storms and summer downpours push water past flashing and window frames. A new roof does not mean the insulation and ceiling drywall under it ever dried.
How It Works
Every inspection follows the same four steps, whether it’s a pre-purchase check in Parkgate or a post-leak inspection in Golden Acres.
Find visible mold and its source
We check every room, the attic, HVAC closets, and behind appliances for growth, stains, and signs of past leaks. That walkthrough decides where we sample and what gets flagged in your report.
The data behind hidden mold problems
Using moisture meters, thermal imaging, a hygrometer, and a borescope, we measure humidity, surface moisture, and dew point inside wall cavities. Elevated readings pinpoint moisture intrusion that feeds mold growth out of sight.
EMSL Analytical lab results you can trust
We collect air (spore-trap) samples to measure airborne spore counts, plus surface, swab, or tape-lift samples on visible growth, each compared against an outdoor control. Every sample is analyzed by EMSL Analytical, an independent AIHA-LAP accredited laboratory, for species identification and concentration. See our air quality testing process for how the sampling works.
Clear results in one business day
You receive a plain-language mold inspection report within one business day, detailing findings, spore counts, and recommended next steps. Detailed enough to hand to a buyer, lender, landlord, or remediation contractor so you can act on it immediately. If cleanup is required, we write the mold remediation protocol your contractor works from. Every inspection is backed by TDLR license ACO1245.
Our Pricing
The price you see is the price you pay. No credit card required to book, and payment is collected at the inspection.
No credit card required to book. Payment is collected after the inspection is completed and prior to delivery of the final report.
Before You Book
The practical answers Pasadena homeowners and agents ask before scheduling.
Larger homes, or homes with a history of water damage, can take longer. Same-day appointments are often available across Pasadena.
The inspection is the walk-through and moisture mapping. The test is the samples we send to the lab. Your $550 visit covers both, with up to two samples.
Photos, moisture readings, and EMSL lab results within one business day, formatted for negotiations, insurance claims, or remediation planning.
Once contamination passes 25 contiguous square feet, Texas requires the licensed assessor and the licensed remediator to be separate parties. We only assess.
When to Book
You don’t need visible mold to need an inspection. These are the most common reasons to book.
Roof, plumbing, slab, or an AC drain line, even one that seemed to dry out fine. Moisture inside walls dries on its own schedule.
Odor without visible growth usually points behind drywall, under flooring, or into the HVAC system.
Lab-backed answers before the option period closes, especially on homes with Harvey or storm history.
A few inches of water against a slab or under a door can wick into wall cavities and bottom plates.
Opening walls in a 1970s house is the best time to find out what's behind them, before new drywall goes up.
Clearance testing confirms the cleanup worked before walls are closed or the home is listed. See clearance testing
Why Pasadena Chooses Us
Four things worth checking before you hand over a deposit, on any inspector, including us.
One flat fee for a standard inspection, published right here. Extra samples are $85 each, and only with your approval.
Inspections run under Mold Assessment Consultant Ran Bozaglo (MAC1839) and company license ACO1245. Verify both with TDLR before you book.
Samples go to EMSL Analytical, AIHA-LAP accredited. Species and spore counts come from the lab, not from us.
We never bid on remediation, so a clean result is as good for us as a failing one.

Buying or Selling in Pasadena?
Lab results before your option period closes.
A Texas option period moves fast. With so much of Pasadena built in the 1970s and so many homes touched by Harvey, the water question comes up early. Our report returns EMSL lab results within one business day of sampling, so buyers negotiate with facts, sellers clear doubts before listing, and agents keep the timeline intact. Because we are assessment-only, neither side can accuse the report of padding a repair bill.
The Independence Rule
Texas requires the licensed mold assessor and the licensed remediator to be different parties. We chose the assessment side on purpose, so we can explain why two remediation bids can differ by thousands without competing for either one. Here’s how it plays out, start to finish.
Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1958 bars the same licensed party from assessing and remediating mold on the same project once contamination passes 25 contiguous square feet. The rule is enforced by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
You get a written report with photos, lab results, moisture readings, and a clear scope of work. Take it to any licensed Texas remediation contractor for competitive bids. No markup, no referral fees, no preferred-vendor arrangement on our end.
Verify their TDLR Mold Remediation Contractor license, confirm insurance that covers mold work, and compare bids against the same written protocol.
After remediation, we return for independent clearance testing in your Pasadena home: re-inspection and re-sampling that confirm the work met the protocol.
