Mold Concerns?

In Texas, a Mold Assessment Technician (MAT) performs mold inspections and collects samples, while a Mold Assessment Consultant (MAC)has additional authority to develop remediation protocols and conduct formal post-remediation clearance assessments.

As a licensed MAT, I serve a specific need for homebuyers, homeowners, renters, and landlords who want to investigate mold concerns before committing to remediation. My inspections document visible conditions and moisture concerns, while laboratory analysis identifies and quantifies mold spores in collected air samples. Comparing indoor and outdoor results, together with inspection findings, helps evaluate whether conditions suggest an indoor mold source.

When the need is inspection and testing rather than a remediation protocol, starting with an independent MAT is a practical first step toward understanding the problem and deciding what comes next. If a protocol or formal clearance is needed, a MAC provides those services.

Calling an independent assessor first also helps avoid conflicts of interest: Texas generally prohibits the same licensee from performing both mold assessment and remediation on the same project.
