After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Broomfield, CO
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.
Independent local crews · scoped at the property
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
There is a damp patch in the basement floor and no fixtures near it. Why?
Check whether the lower level was roughed in for a bathroom. Builders commonly stub drain and supply up through the slab for a future fit-out and cap them, and those caps sit under the floor where nothing is inspected. A failed one puts water into the ground beneath the slab with no fixture above it to point at.
How much of the floor has to come up?
Enough to reach the stub and enough to give the concrete an open face. That is usually a patch around the failure rather than a room, but the wet area under the slab is mapped first with readings across the floor, because water beneath spreads further than the opening needs to be.
The room feels completely dry. Is the job finished?
Not on how it feels. Air this dry finishes exposed surfaces within a day, which is exactly why these losses go unnoticed for months. The concrete is read with a meter suited to it, at several points, on consecutive days, and the numbers have to stop moving before the patch goes back.
