About Us:

Texas & California’s Independent Mold & Asbestos Testing Company

GJ Environmental Testing, LLC was founded in Lake Elsinore, California, and serves property owners across Riverside County and Orange County, plus San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country from our base in Boerne.

We specialize in independent mold, asbestos, lead, and indoor air quality testing for residential and commercial properties, using precise field methods and accredited labs so every result is documented, defensible, and easy to understand.

We test. We never remediate or abate, so our findings are unbiased, and if your building is fine, we will tell you so.

Before You Demo or Renovate

Asbestos Was Never Banned. Testing Before Demolition Is Mandatory.

The EPA’s phased ban on asbestos was announced and never implemented, so buildings from before the 1990s can still contain it in ceilings, floor tile, insulation, and joint compound. OSHA requires those materials to be treated as asbestos containing until an inspection says otherwise.

In Southern California, Rule 1403 requires a written survey before demolition or renovation can begin, and fines for skipping it run into the thousands per violation. A survey costs far less, and samples can be in the lab within the week.

What are the signs that I may need a mold inspection?

Common warning signs include a musty odor, visible spots or staining, recent leaks, water damage, condensation, or past flooding. Even when mold is not obvious, persistent moisture problems can allow it to grow behind walls, under flooring, or inside crawl spaces and HVAC areas. If you can see mold or smell it, there is usually already a moisture issue that needs attention.

What happens during a professional mold inspection?

A professional mold inspection usually starts with a visual evaluation of the property, followed by checking areas with known or suspected moisture problems. Depending on the situation, the inspector may use tools such as moisture meters, thermal imaging, and air or surface sampling to help determine whether mold is present, where it is coming from, and how far it may have spread.

What is the difference between mold inspection and mold testing?

A mold inspection is the overall process of identifying signs of mold and tracking down the moisture source. Mold testing is a more specific step that may involve air or surface samples sent to a lab. Testing can be helpful when mold is suspected but not visible, when documentation is needed, or when you want more clarity about indoor air conditions. EPA also notes that testing is not always the first step if mold is already clearly visible.

Do I need mold testing if I can already see mold?

Not always. If mold is clearly visible, the bigger priority is usually to fix the moisture source and properly clean or remove the affected material. Testing is often most useful when the mold is hidden, when the extent is unclear, when documentation is needed for a transaction or dispute, or when occupants are having unexplained indoor air quality concerns.

Can mold make you sick?

Mold exposure can cause allergy and irritation symptoms, including sneezing, nasal congestion, coughing, wheezing, watery eyes, skin irritation, and in some people worsened asthma symptoms. People with asthma, mold allergies, chronic lung disease, or weakened immune systems may be more affected. Not everyone reacts the same way, but mold should still be addressed promptly because moisture and contamination problems tend to get worse over time.

Hasn’t asbestos been banned?

No. The EPA’s phased ban was announced and never implemented, and asbestos is still used in some industries. Materials in older buildings often contain it, and you can not identify asbestos by sight. Suspect materials have to be sampled and tested by a lab.

How long does testing take, and when do I get results?

A sampling visit usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. Lab results typically arrive in 3 to 5 business days, with a written report and a clearance certification when it applies.

Do I have to test for asbestos before demolition or renovation?

Usually, yes. OSHA and federal NESHAP rules call for an inspection before demolition or renovation. In Southern California, South Coast AQMD Rule 1403 requires a written asbestos survey before demolition and most renovations, with limited exceptions for some single family homes. Texas has parallel requirements through the TCEQ.

Do you inspect hidden mold behind walls, ceilings, or under flooring?

Yes, hidden mold is one of the main reasons people schedule a professional inspection. Mold can grow in concealed spaces when there has been a leak, elevated moisture, or long-term humidity. A proper inspection may include moisture mapping, infrared scanning, and targeted sampling to help identify whether a hidden issue is likely, even when mold is not visible on the surface.

What happens if I skip asbestos testing?

Disturbed asbestos is a health risk for everyone in the building, skipping a required survey can bring fines for each violation, and contractors, realtors, and property managers can be held liable. The survey report is the documentation that protects you.
