Mycotoxin Services in Houston, TX and Surrounding Areas

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

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
  • Advanced airborne mycotoxin environmental testing
  • 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 Testing

When conditions warrant, AIG offers advanced airborne mycotoxin testing designed to evaluate the presence of toxin compounds in indoor air—not just mold spores.

 

This 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.
