Testing for Mold in Houston, Austin and College Station

Moisture trapped inside a building can weaken materials and create conditions for mold growth. Mold can develop behind walls, under flooring and above ceilings before visible signs appear. Certified mold testing can identify hidden contamination and provide findings to guide the remediation process.

Fire Reconstruction Inc. works with certified industrial hygienists during the mold remediation process. After testing identifies areas with mold, we remove contaminated materials, remediate mold and address moisture sources to help limit future growth.

Checks Hard-to-Reach Areas

What Happens During Mold Testing

When you suspect mold, contacting certified professionals is the first step. These experts examine your property, check moisture levels and collect samples to identify the mold type and extent of contamination.

They inspect walls, flooring, HVAC systems and other areas where moisture commonly hides. Samples are sent to a lab for analysis. Results typically arrive within a few days and show exactly where mold is present and how to address it.
