After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Loveland, 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.

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 are the lakes around these neighborhoods?
Worked-out gravel pits. The river gravels here were quarried for decades and the holes left behind were allowed to fill, so what looks like an ornamental lake is an excavation that went below the water table and is now open to it.
Why does that affect a basement several lots back?
Because the pit and the ground water are the same body. Digging into the river gravels opened a direct connection to the aquifer, so the level in the pit is the level under the surrounding neighborhood, not just at the water's edge.
What sets that level?
The river and the ditches, which means it is highest in late spring when the mountain snow is coming down. A basement here responds to the runoff season rather than to rainfall, and that is predictable enough to prepare for.
