After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Macon, 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.

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 the fall line?
The boundary where the hard rock of the piedmont gives way to the sands of the coastal plain. It runs across the state and directly through this city, which is why the rivers have shoals here and why the ground changes over a short distance.
Why does it matter which side a house is on?
Because the two soils behave in opposite ways. Sand takes water down and away, so the problem is usually washout and undermining. Clay holds it and swells, so the problem is movement and standing water. The right answer for one is wrong for the other.
How is a particular lot pinned down?
By digging rather than by the map, since the boundary is gradual and the mapping is broad. A hole a few feet deep at the corner of the house answers it immediately, and it is worth doing before spending anything on drainage.
