After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Alpharetta, GA
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.
Quoted on site by the contractor who visits
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
How does a decorative pond cause a problem?
By leaking into the ground rather than drying up. These features are lined and fed by an automatic top-up, so a split liner does not empty the pond; it quietly puts water into the soil around it while the level stays exactly where it should.
How would anyone find out?
From the water bill for the common area, which is the only place it shows. A feature that has started using noticeably more make-up water is leaking, and that figure is in the association's accounts if anyone looks at it.
What does a leaking feature do to the houses nearby?
Keeps the ground beside them wetter than it should be, continuously and regardless of the weather. A property whose basement went wet in a dry spell and sits near one of these features is worth investigating in that direction first.
