After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Biloxi, MS
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.
Independent local crews · scoped at the property
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 attic is sealed. Is a roof leak worse or better in that case?
Harder to find and harder to dry. A sealed assembly keeps the space comfortable and out of the weather, which is why it is done, but water that gets between the deck and the foam cannot evaporate in either direction. It stays against the deck, and nothing from inside the attic will show it.
How is a wet deck under foam actually dealt with?
By removing foam along the run, which is the part people do not expect. There is no other access to the deck and no path for air. The affected foam is cut out, the deck is read with pins and dried, and new material is applied only after the readings hold. It is a slow and untidy process.
What else is up in that space?
Frequently the air handler and its ducting, because a sealed attic is a reasonable place to put them. That means a blocked drain or a failed pan is inside the same unventilated space, above finished ceilings. Those are checked first in any attic loss here, since they are more common than a roof failure.
