After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Montgomery, AL
An independent assessor confirms whether the assembly that got wet is actually dry, whether growth started while it was not, and how far it reaches. An inspection after a water loss confirms whether the assembly that got wet is dry now and whether growth started while it was not. Readings are taken in the material, cavities are opened where the readings point, and the result is a written scope of what is dry, what is not, and what has to be corrected for the repair to hold.

On this site, inspection is the last check of a water job rather than the start of a separate one. Most people reach this page because something was wet, was dried, and a smell or a stain came back. The inspection answers whether the material is dry now and whether anything grew while it was not. Nothing here is medical advice; questions about health are for a clinician.
Often needed alongside
- Mold Remediation
Growth and the material it grew into come out under containment, what remains is cleaned, and the assembly is dried and read before anything closes it in.
- Structural Drying & Dehumidification
Sealed air movers and dehumidifiers bring framing, subfloor and drywall back to a measured dry standard, with daily readings logged from inside the material.
Frequently asked questions
What does a roof turbine actually do?
Draws hot air out of the attic using the wind to spin it. The turning head both moves the air and, by spinning, throws off rain that reaches it. It is a simple thing with one moving part, sitting in the weather on a bearing.
What happens when one seizes?
It stops shedding. A turbine that no longer turns is an open throat pointed at the sky, and driven rain goes down it and onto the insulation below. The ventilation stops working at the same time, so the attic gets damper from two directions.
How can you tell from the ground?
Watch one on a breezy day, which is really the whole inspection. A turbine that is not turning while the trees around it are moving has seized. Replacing one is inexpensive; the attic insulation sitting underneath a seized one usually is not.
