After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Florence, KY
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
How can two houses on one street be so different?
Because one is standing on the original hillside and the other on what used to be a ravine. The grading took the tops down and pushed them into the hollows, so within a single block there are lots on solid cut ground and lots on twenty feet of fill.
Does water still follow the old hollow?
It does, under the ground. The ravine was filled but the drainage course it carried did not go anywhere, so water moving down the hillside still travels along that buried line and arrives beneath whatever was built on top of it.
How would anyone know which they are on?
The lie of the surrounding land usually tells it, and the county's old contour maps settle it. It is worth knowing before spending on drainage, because the right answer for a house on cut ground is not the right answer for one on fill.
