After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Goodyear, 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 would a street be designed to flood?
Because storage is cheaper than pipe. In a climate where the annual rainfall arrives in a handful of storms, holding water in the roadway for an hour and releasing it slowly is a standard approach. It works as intended, provided the outlets are clear and nothing sits lower than the design level.
What does that mean for a house on one?
That the level in the street during a storm matters a great deal. A drive falling from the road toward a garage is taking water from a surface that is deliberately ponding, so the difference between the design level and the garage floor is what protects the building.
What should be checked before the storm season?
The grates and outlets that release the stored water, which fill with gravel, plant debris and construction material in a place where nothing flushes them for most of the year. A blocked outlet turns a controlled pond into a rising one, and that is when the level passes a driveway.
