Mold Assessment & Referral in Katy, 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 Katy (7 ZIP codes, 22k residents) and surrounding neighborhoods with same-week scheduling.

Local dossier · Katy, TX
Katy is a young housing market with an old water story, and both shape what your ductwork needs. A large share of homes inside the city were finished after 2010, which means the systems have not been running long enough to collect much of anything from use. What they carry instead is construction debris left in the boots before the registers went on, and that is a single cleanup rather than a recurring service. The water part matters differently. Homes in the reservoir and bayou watersheds have taken on floodwater in the past, and duct liner, insulation and air handlers that were submerged cannot be restored by cleaning. They get replaced. Katy also leans heavily on gas furnaces, most of them mounted in the attic, where nine idle humid months leave dust on a cold cabinet and produce a strong burning smell on the first cold morning. That smell usually starts at the furnace, not in the duct.

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.
