After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Littleton, 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
What does the radon fan actually do?
It pulls air out of the gravel under the basement floor and sends it up a pipe to the roof, so the ground beneath the house is kept at a slightly lower pressure than the rooms above. It runs continuously, year in and year out.
Does it matter during a water loss?
It can help and it can hinder, and which one depends on where the water is. A fan drawing on saturated ground under a slab pulls moisture toward the building rather than away, so it is worth deciding deliberately whether to leave it running.
Should the system be checked afterward?
Yes, and it is easy to overlook. The pipe passes through the slab, so a floor that has been opened, cut or resealed may have disturbed the seal around it. A quick look at that penetration belongs on the list before the floor goes back.
