After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Winter Park, 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.

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 is behind the window frame in these houses?
The original frame, still in place. When these windows were changed the new units were fitted inside the existing openings rather than the old frames being removed, so there is a second frame buried in the wall around each one, with a gap between the two that nothing can reach.
Why is an old frame behind a new window a problem?
Because it is timber in a closed space. Water getting past the new unit collects between the two frames, where there is no air movement and no way to read it from the room, and in a climate with no dry season it stays there. A window that reads dry can have a wet frame behind it.
Does the replacement window have to come out?
Where the readings say the old frame is wet, usually yes, and that is a bigger job than it looks. Getting at the original means removing the unit that was fitted over it, so the scope goes from a wall repair to a window replacement. It is established with a meter before anything is committed to.
