After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Avondale, AZ
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
Why is the ground so flat here?
It was made that way on purpose. These fields were flood irrigated, which means water was run across them and had to stand evenly, so the land was graded precisely level. The subdivisions were then built on top of that without changing it.
What happens in a real storm?
The water stays. There is no gradient for it to follow, so an inch of rain in an hour spreads out and sits where it fell until it soaks in or evaporates, and around a house that means it sits against the slab rather than running past it.
What is worth doing to a lot like this?
Building fall where there is none, in the first few feet around the building, and giving the water a defined low point to go to that is not the house. On flat ground that is the whole of the drainage strategy, and it is usually absent.
