After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Denver, 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.
Local contractors · findings documented for your claim
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
The window well overflowed and the basement took water at that wall. What has to come out?
The carpet and pad along that wall, the bottom of the drywall, and any insulation behind it. Water over a window well arrives dirty, having come off the yard and through the well, so porous material it touched is removed rather than dried. The contractor then dries the foundation wall and the slab at its base, and the well gets a drain before the finish goes back.
How long does the ceiling take to dry after hail opens the roof?
Two or three days once the wet batts are out and the roof is tarped, which is faster than most places because the air here is dry in every season. The delay is usually in finding it: rain through a hail-punctured roof sits in the attic insulation and the stain appears days later, well away from where it came through. The ceiling is closed after the roof is repaired.
The slab cracked where the clay heaved. Can the floor go back down over it?
Once the concrete reads dry, yes, but not before. Expansive soil lifts a slab and opens a crack that seepage then uses, so the covering comes up along the crack and the slab is dried and read there daily. Laying a new floor over concrete that still reads wet traps it underneath, and the crack itself is sealed as part of the repair rather than the drying.
