TDLR-LICENSED · ACO1245
Richmond’s mold reality is shaped by the Brazos River more than by any other single factor — and most general home inspectors don’t account for that. We’re a TDLR-licensed, Houston-based mold assessment firm serving Richmond same-day across Pecan Grove, Aliana, Long Meadow Farms, Lakes of Bella Terra, and the historic downtown district. The $550 flat-fee inspection covers a full visual walkthrough, moisture and humidity instrumentation, lab-analyzed samples, and a complete written report in 48 hours. We test only — never remediate — so the report has no conflict of interest with what comes next.
TDLR-licensed (ACO1245) with 9 years of independent mold inspection experience across Houston, Dallas, and Austin.
Professional testing with clear mold reports delivered in 24 hours.
Independent mold inspections with honest results, no remediation, no conflict of interest.
Identify Visible Mold & Its Source
We start with a thorough walk-through of the property. Our inspectors examine walls, ceilings, floors, HVAC systems, attics, and under cabinets to identify visible mold, water damage, or conditions that promote mold growth.
Detect Hidden Moisture Issues
We measure relative humidity, surface moisture, and dew point throughout the property using calibrated meters and thermal imaging. Elevated readings in walls, subfloors, or behind cabinets point to active or recent moisture intrusion, which is where mold typically grows out of sight.
Swab or Air Sampling

You will receive a detailed and easy-to-understand report within 24 hours. The report includes laboratory results, mold levels, and professional recommendations to help you understand the situation and decide on the next steps whether remediation is needed or not.

Frequently Asked
Quick answers to the most common questions from Richmond homeowners and agents.
Yes. Richmond is a 40- to 50-minute drive from our Houston base and is part of our standard same-day service area — no distance surcharge. Pecan Grove, Aliana, Long Meadow Farms, Lakes of Bella Terra, and the historic downtown district are all covered.
Our standard mold inspection is a $550 flat fee. That covers the full visual walkthrough, moisture and humidity readings, and one lab-analyzed sample. Additional samples are $85 each.
Richmond sits along the Brazos River, and that river shapes mold conditions here more than humidity alone ever could. The 2016 Tax Day Flood and Hurricane Harvey in 2017 both pushed Brazos water levels into neighborhoods that hadn't seen flooding in decades — and the question of whether the recovery work was complete is still surfacing in homes years later.
Brazos water pushed into homes that hadn't seen flooding in living memory. Many were remediated quickly under insurance pressure — but the question of whether the work was actually complete is still surfacing six and seven years later, particularly in homes where no post-remediation clearance test was ever performed.
Tight modern envelopes west of Grand Parkway trap moisture when an appliance leaks or a roof penetration fails. We've inspected five-year-old homes in Aliana with documented mold growth in unconditioned attic spaces — newer doesn't mean immune from moisture problems.
Century-old construction, pier-and-beam foundations, original plumbing, and additions stacked over decades create moisture pockets that don't show up on a casual walkthrough. These homes need experienced eyes and instruments, not assumptions.
Mold exposure can affect your respiratory system, immune response, cognitive function, and skin. If you're experiencing these symptoms in your Richmond home, an inspection can confirm whether mold is the cause.
This is general information, not medical advice. If you're experiencing symptoms you believe may be related to mold exposure, consult a healthcare provider. For more on mold and health, see the CDC's mold guidance.

Seven recurring patterns we find on Richmond mold assessments. Every inspection includes a deliberate check of each.
Bottom plates, sub-flooring, and lower wall cavities in homes that flooded in 2016 or 2017 — particularly in areas that may not have dried fully under insurance-pressure remediation.
Contractors moved quickly, didn't document drying targets, and never produced a clearance test — leaving growth quietly established in wall cavities for years.
Newer homes in Aliana and Lakes of Bella Terra with tight construction trap moisture when drain pans overflow or condensate lines clog.
Historic Richmond homes where ventilation has degraded over decades and ground moisture migrates into framing — invisible from above-floor inspection.
Long Meadow Farms and Pecan Grove bathroom exhaust fans dumping into insulation rather than venting through the roof.
Behind kitchen and bathroom walls in homes built in the 1980s and 1990s — particularly common in Pecan Grove's earlier sections.
Named systems where insurance addressed the structural repair but never the interior moisture dry-out — leaving attic insulation and ceiling drywall to develop growth quietly.
