After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Clinton, 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.
The pro who inspects is the pro who quotes
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
Where does water get into a platform like this?
At the joint around the rim. The tub moves slightly every time it is filled and emptied and the tiled deck does not, so the seal between them works loose over the years rather than failing in one go. Water crosses that line a little at a time and goes into the framing below.
Why is nothing visible in the bathroom?
Because the platform is closed. Everything that gets past the rim is inside a framed box under the tile, so there is no surface for it to show on and no way to read it from the room. The first sign is usually in the ceiling below or a soft spot in the deck.
Does the platform have to come apart?
To reach the framing, yes. There is no access to the inside of a tiled platform without removing tile and usually the tub, which is why the scope on these is larger than the wet area suggests. The drying itself is short once the box is open.
