Because mold doesn’t wait for an invitation.
Rain is a welcome sight after a dry spell—but when that moisture slips behind your walls, under your floors, or into your attic, it creates the perfect environment for something less welcome: mold.
In Houston’s warm, humid climate, mold can begin to grow in as little as 24–48 hours after water intrusion. And in many cases, homeowners don’t even know it’s happening.
At Houston Enviro Assessments, we specialize in uncovering mold issues caused by springtime rain, humidity, and hidden leaks—before they can affect your home, your health, or your peace of mind.
🕵️ Where Mold Loves to Hide After Spring Rain
Behind walls where roof or siding leaks go unnoticed
Under flooring near exterior doors or windows
Inside cabinets or closets on exterior walls
In the attic, especially near vents or chimneys
In HVAC systems, where damp air and dust combine
In recently flooded crawlspaces
🚩 Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore:
Musty smells that seem stronger after it rains
Allergies or respiratory issues that get worse indoors
Stains, discoloration, or soft spots on walls or ceilings
Peeling paint or bubbling drywall
A history of leaks—even if they’ve been “repaired”
🔬 What We Do:
Our licensed mold assessment team uses moisture meters, thermal imaging, and air quality testing to detect mold you can’t see—and create a clear, unbiased report on what’s present and what steps are needed to resolve it.
Whether you're a homeowner, buyer, seller, or property manager, this is the perfect time of year to get a mold inspection—before summer heat amplifies the damage.

If your home has recently been exposed to heavy spring rain—or if something just doesn’t smell right—it’s time to get it checked out. The sooner we catch it, the easier it is to fix.
