After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Delray Beach, FL
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 changes when impact windows go in?
The opening as much as the glass. The new units are heavier and thicker than what they replace, so they sit differently in the wall, and the way water that gets into the opening finds its way back out depends entirely on how that perimeter was detailed.
Where does the water actually get in?
At the perimeter rather than through the unit. The glazing itself is sound; what leaks is the joint between the new frame and the old opening, particularly at the bottom corners, where sealant is doing the work a flashing should do.
Is there a way to check the installation?
Looking at the sill from outside tells you a good deal. A unit fitted with a proper sill pan and an end dam will show a drainage path; one bedded in sealant alone will not. It is worth knowing before a wall is opened up.
