After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Buckeye, 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.
No obligation: the assessment comes before any scope
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 is an earth fissure?
A crack that opens in the ground when an aquifer is pumped down and the sediments compact unevenly. They can run for miles and be several feet across, and they are a consequence of groundwater withdrawal rather than of any earthquake.
Why do they show up after rain?
Because water finds them and opens them out. A fissure can be closed at the surface and invisible for years, and then a storm runs into the line, washes the soil down into the crack, and a gaping channel appears in what looked like flat ground.
Are they mapped?
The known ones are, by the state geological survey, and those maps are public and worth looking at before buying or building. New ones do appear, so a map showing nothing is less reassuring than a map showing one some distance away.
