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
Results in 24 Hours
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.
Full walk-through of your home including attic, crawlspace, HVAC, and any areas with visible water damage. We check humidity, look for staining, and identify hidden moisture sources behind drywall using moisture meters and thermal imaging.
Most Katy homes are inspected in 1–2 hours. Larger properties (4+ bedrooms or significant water damage history) may take 2–3 hours. Same-day appointments are routinely available across Cinco Ranch, Pecan Grove, Old Katy, and surrounding ZIP codes.
A written report within 24 hours of any lab samples, including findings, photo documentation, moisture readings, and clear recommendations. Reports are formatted for use in real estate negotiations, insurance claims, or remediation planning.
Texas law requires the mold inspector to be separate from the mold remediator. We don't do remediation, so we have zero incentive to inflate findings. Your report is unbiased, accurate, and accepted by attorneys, insurers, and buyers.

Frequently Asked
Quick answers to the most common questions from Katy homeowners and agents.
Yes. Katy's combination of high summer humidity, slab-on-grade construction, and a wide stock of homes affected by Hurricane Harvey flooding all create elevated mold risk. We see mold in newer Katy master-planned community homes just as often as in older Old Katy properties. The risk isn't tied to home age, it's tied to moisture exposure.
For pre-purchase inspections in Katy, we recommend mold testing for any home that flooded during Hurricane Harvey (most properties in flood-prone parts of Katy did), any home over 10 years old where slab leaks are statistically more likely, and any home where the seller's disclosure mentions past water damage. A standard home inspection does not test for mold.
Hurricane Harvey in 2017 flooded thousands of Katy homes. Many were dried out and rebuilt, but the depth of drying and the quality of moisture mitigation varied widely. Moisture trapped in wall cavities, insulation, or subflooring during rebuild can still drive mold growth years later. We commonly find lingering Harvey-era moisture issues in Katy homes from 2017 to 2019 rebuilds.
$550 flat fee for a standard mold inspection in Katy, including the on-site inspection, lab analysis, and the written report. Mold remediation protocols are $750 flat fee. No hidden costs, no per-sample upcharges.
Most inspections take 60 to 90 minutes on-site. Samples then go to an independent accredited lab, and your written report is delivered within 24 hours. So from booking to final report is typically 1 to 2 days.
We cover greater Katy, including Old Katy, Cinco Ranch, Cross Creek Ranch, Firethorne, Falcon Landing, Seven Meadows, Grand Lakes, Mason Creek, Pin Oak Village, Fulshear, and Brookshire. If you're outside these areas, call us at (832) 838-9387, and we'll confirm whether we can dispatch a licensed inspector to your address.
No. Under Texas law, mold inspection and mold remediation must be performed by separate companies. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation enforces this separation. We are a licensed mold assessment firm, which means we identify mold, document it, and write the remediation protocol that licensed remediators follow. This separation is legally required and ensures our findings are honest, with no incentive to find mold that isn't there. Learn more about choosing an independent mold inspector for unbiased assessment.
Texas Occupations Code §1958 prohibits the same licensed party from both diagnosing and remediating mold on the same project. The rule exists to prevent a built-in conflict of interest — an inspector who profits from finding more mold has every incentive to find more mold.
You receive a written report with photo documentation, lab results, moisture readings, and a clear scope of work. You can take that report to any licensed Texas remediation contractor for competitive bids — no markup, no kickback, no preferred-vendor arrangement on our end.
Verify they hold a TDLR Mold Remediation Contractor license, ask for proof of insurance specifically covering mold work, and get at least three written bids using the same scope of work (yours). If a contractor offers a "free inspection," they're legally not allowed to remediate what they find — walk away.
After remediation is complete, we can return to perform clearance testing in your Katy home — independent verification that the remediation actually worked, accepted by insurance carriers and real estate professionals.
Mold exposure can affect your respiratory system, immune response, cognitive function, and skin. If you're experiencing these symptoms in your Katy 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.
