After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Kennesaw, 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
Why does the lawn not soak up the rain?
Because there is very little soil in it. The topsoil was stripped and sold when the subdivision was cut, and what is under the grass is clay that was compacted to build on. Water lands on it and runs, in the way it runs off a drive.
What can be done about a lot like this?
Getting real depth of soil back into the ground next to the house changes it more than anything else. Aerating and building up the bed around the foundation gives water somewhere to go in the first few feet, which is the part that matters to the building.
Is a newer house better off in a storm?
Not necessarily, and people are often surprised by that. The house itself is in good order, and the reason water is at the door has nothing to do with its age. A twenty-five-year-old house on stripped ground takes more than an old one on settled soil.
