After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Chandler, 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.
Quoted on site by the contractor who visits
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
How does a fab affect the ground water?
Through the scale of what it moves. These plants use very large volumes, treat what they return, and recharge it to the aquifer, so extraction and replenishment are both happening within the same urban area on an industrial scale. That is a scale of water movement with no equivalent anywhere else in the built-up area.
Can that raise the level under a house?
Locally it can, particularly near a recharge facility. In a climate where rainfall contributes almost nothing, the managed movement of water is the main thing setting the level, so it can rise in a year when nothing has fallen. A slab that has started reading damp with no plumbing fault is worth checking against that data first.
Is any of this published?
A good deal of it, because both the industrial users and the water utility report on extraction and recharge. For a household with an unexplained change in a basement or a slab, that data is worth looking at before anything else.
