Mold Assessment & Referral in Austin, TX
Suspected growth in a duct system deserves evidence, not a sales pitch. We camera every accessible run and both plenums, inspect the coil and condensate area where moisture actually collects, document the conditions that let growth start, and collect surface or air samples for an independent laboratory. You get the photos, the lab report, and a plain-language reading of what it actually says. Here is the part most companies leave out: we do not remediate mold. Where the affected area exceeds the regulated threshold, remediation is performed by a licensed remediator, and we hand you the documentation and a referral instead of pretending otherwise. What we can fix is the cause — the disconnected run pulling humid attic air, the condensate pan that never drains, the leak above the ceiling — so it does not simply grow back. Serving Austin (60 ZIP codes, 975k residents) and surrounding neighborhoods with same-week scheduling.

Local dossier · Austin, TX
Austin is the rare Texas city where most housing units are not detached houses, and that single fact changes the conversation. In a condo tower, a stacked fourplex or an East Austin ADU, the system is usually a closet air handler with short runs and one hallway return grille. There is not much duct to clean, and the real leverage is filter fit and whether the return is pulling air from a plenum or corridor instead of your rooms. Detached houses split their own way here: an older core around Hyde Park and Travis Heights with retrofit routing, and a post-2010 ring built tight enough that indoor air is close to whatever the equipment makes it. Then there is cedar. Ashe juniper pollen arrives in December fine enough to pass an ordinary filter and stay airborne indoors for weeks. Cleaning removes what has settled. It does nothing about what is coming, and we would rather say so.

Mold Assessment & Referral in Austin (Travis County) — what's local
Austin sits in Travis County (county seat: Austin). For mold assessment & referral that means our Austin crew sizes up the local housing stock before quoting — and follows Travis County permit requirements for any work that needs an inspection sign-off.
Scoped from a camera inspection
At Prime Air Duct Experts, a mold assessment & referral is never guesswork. We scope every job from a camera look inside the ducts first — weighed against EPA guidance on when the work is actually warranted — so what you approve is matched to what your system actually needs, with the photos to prove it. And if the camera says the work isn't needed, we tell you that instead.
