After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Doral, 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.
Independent local assessors · no obligation to proceed
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 do pavers end up directing water at the house?
Because they move with the bed underneath them. Pavers are not fixed to anything; they sit on sand over compacted fill, and water passing through the joints carries fine material away. The section nearest the house is on the deepest fill, so it settles first, and a surface laid to fall away ends up falling back.
What does that do at the slab edge?
It puts standing water against the edge of the floor. Once the pavers next to the house have dropped, every storm leaves water sitting along that line rather than running off it, and the slab edge is the least protected part of the building. The signs show up inside as damp at the base of a wall.
Can the pavers be relaid rather than replaced?
Almost always, and that is the advantage of them. The units come up, the bedding is regraded and compacted, and the same pavers go back to the correct fall. It is worth doing properly rather than adding sand to the low spots, because that only defers the same settlement for a season or two.
