After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Gilbert, 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.

Frequently asked questions
Why is a dry channel a risk?
Because nothing about it looks like drainage for most of the year. It is a grassed or gravelled strip behind the houses, and over time fences, planting and stored things find their way into it. When a summer storm arrives, it has to carry a very large flow through whatever is now in the way.
How much water can arrive at once?
A large share of the annual total in an hour. This is a climate of eight or nine inches a year delivered in a handful of events, so the design flow for one of these channels is enormous relative to how it looks. The ground on either side is baked hard and absorbs almost none of it.
What should an owner backing onto one know?
Where the channel's capacity is and who maintains it. The association or the district usually has responsibility, but the obstruction is frequently on the private side of the fence. Keeping that strip clear, and knowing which side of the house is the low one, is what decides where a storm's water goes.
