After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Monroe, MI
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 does wind raise a lake?
By pushing the water down its length. A sustained wind over a shallow lake with a long fetch piles water up at the downwind end and lowers it at the other, and this end of this lake is the shallow one. A few feet of rise in a day is not unusual.
Is there rain with it?
Often very little, which is what catches people out. The event that floods a low street here can be a clear, hard-blowing day, so nothing about the weather suggests a water emergency and the flooding is frequently blamed on the drainage instead.
What should be documented while it is happening?
The level, with photographs and a mark on a wall, because the water will be gone by the time anyone comes to look. A rise that lasts eight hours leaves a thoroughly wet building and almost no evidence of how it got that way.
