Mycotoxin Inspection, Testing, and Source Identification

Texas-Licensed Environmental Mycotoxin Expertise

Aggie Inspector Group (AIG) is a Texas-licensed mold consulting firm specializing in the identification, assessment, and reduction of environmental mycotoxins in homes, equine facilities, and commercial buildings.



Unlike firms that rely solely on visible mold or standard spore counts, AIG focuses on toxin-producing mold reservoirs, moisture dynamics, and airborne mycotoxin transport pathways that allow mycotoxins to persist indoors, often long after visible mold has been removed.

What Are Mycotoxins?

Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by certain molds when environmental conditions, especially chronic moisture, are present. These compounds can accumulate in:

  • Indoor air
  • Settled dust
  • Porous building materials
  • HVAC systems and ductwork
  • Contents and textiles

Mycotoxins may remain in an environment even when mold growth is no longer obvious, which is why source identification and targeted remediation are critical.


When Mycotoxin Assessment May Be Appropriate

A mycotoxin-focused environmental assessment is often recommended when:

  • A building has a history of water intrusion or chronic humidity
  • Traditional mold inspections fail to explain ongoing concerns
  • Clients report persistent indoor air quality issues
  • Visible mold has been removed but conditions do not improve
  • Healthcare providers advise evaluating environmental contributors to chronic inflammatory or respiratory symptoms


* Aggie Inspector Group performs environmental testing only and does not diagnose or treat medical conditions. *

AIG’s Mycotoxin Expertise

Aggie Inspector Group has developed field-proven mycotoxin assessment and reduction protocols based on years of licensed mold consulting experience and real-world remediation outcomes.

Our expertise includes:

  • Texas-licensed mold consultation
  • Environmental mycotoxin source identification
  • Airborne Mycotoxin Environmental Analysis (AMEA) using advanced detection methodology
  • Evaluation of toxin-producing mold reservoirs
  • Moisture mapping and building science analysis
  • HVAC and air transport pathway evaluation
  • Remediation protocol development focused on source removal and containment
  • Post-remediation verification strategies

AIG is among a limited number of firms in Texas with documented experience conducting airborne mycotoxin environmental assessments and supporting successful reduction outcomes.


Airborne Mycotoxin Environmental Analysis (AMEA)

When conditions warrant, AIG conducts Airborne Mycotoxin Environmental Analysis (AMEA) to identify toxic mold byproducts present in indoor air.



This advanced testing is designed to detect mycotoxins themselves, not just mold spores, and uses patented extraction methods combined with Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) technology for precision and accuracy in identifying specific airborne mycotoxins.


AMEA testing may be appropriate when:

  • Spore counts appear normal but concerns persist
  • There is evidence of long-term moisture damage
  • Buildings have undergone incomplete or improper remediation
  • Sensitive occupants or animals are involved

Testing results are used to guide remediation strategy and source control, not for medical diagnosis.

Mycotoxin-Focused Remediation Strategy

Effective mycotoxin reduction requires more than surface cleaning.

AIG-developed remediation protocols emphasize:


  • Identification and removal of toxin-producing reservoirs
  • Proper containment and negative pressure control
  • Controlled demolition when necessary
  • HVAC cleaning and isolation
  • Capture and reduction of airborne particulates
  • Moisture correction to prevent recurrence



Our approach prioritizes long-term environmental control, not temporary suppression.
