After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Savannah, 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
The crawl space was pumped but the ground is still wet. What now?
The soil is dried as part of the job rather than left to settle on its own. With a high water table, the ground under a shallow crawl space holds moisture and gives it back to the joists above for weeks. A ground cover and moving air are used to cut that off, and the framing is read until it holds before the space is closed.
Water got into the ductwork under the floor. What happens to it?
It is opened and inspected before it is run. Duct that has held water is checked by the appropriate trade, and internally lined sections that stayed wet are generally replaced rather than dried, because the lining holds moisture where nothing can reach it. Running the system first would move that moisture through the whole house.
How long is the wet season a factor here?
From roughly midsummer into early autumn, with August the heaviest at over seven inches. During that stretch the outdoor air is warm and already carries a lot of moisture, so opening a building up achieves nothing and dehumidification does the work. Jobs started in that window are scheduled with longer equipment time from the outset.
