After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Roswell, 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
Do roof mounts leak?
They do when they are done badly, and the failure is not visible from the ground. Each mount is a lag bolt through the shingles into a rafter, sealed with a flashing that should be woven into the covering. Where sealant alone was used instead, it lasts a few years and then the penetration is open.
How would a leak at a mount show itself?
From inside, usually. Water entering at a mount runs down the underside of the deck and shows as a stain on the attic sheathing or a ceiling below, some distance from the point of entry. The panels themselves hide the roof surface, so nothing is apparent from outside at all.
What happens when the roof needs replacing?
The array comes off and goes back on, which is a cost worth knowing about in advance. It is also the one opportunity to see the deck under the panels. Where an installation went onto an older roof, that deck has frequently been taking water at a mount for years, and this is when it is found.
