After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Greenwood Village, 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.
The pro who inspects is the pro who quotes
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 does a pool room damage the rest of the house?
Because of what it pushes outward. A heated pool keeps a room permanently humid, and in a climate with six freezing months the walls and ceiling around it are cold on the other side, so that moisture reaches cold surfaces in the surrounding structure and condenses there.
Where does the damage usually show?
Outside the room rather than in it. The pool room itself is built to be wet and generally copes; what suffers is the framing in the walls and ceiling around it and the rooms on the far side of those, where nothing is designed for that load.
What is checked first?
Whether the room is being ventilated as it was meant to be. These are built with equipment to control the humidity, and when that stops working or is turned off to save running it, the room starts exporting moisture into the building. That is usually the whole story.
