After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Hattiesburg, 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.

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 is the bathroom fan actually venting?
Into the attic, on a great many of these. The duct goes up through the ceiling and stops, sometimes pointed at a vent and sometimes lying loose on the insulation. Everything the fan removes from the bathroom is delivered into the roof space.
Why does that look like a roof leak?
Because it wets the underside of the deck. Warm wet air rises, meets the cool sheathing and condenses there, so the boards are damp and stained across an area and drops fall onto the insulation. A roof inspection finds nothing wrong with the roof.
How is it put right?
By carrying the duct through to the outside and terminating it properly, which is an hour of work in most attics. The harder part is the damage already done, because years of this softens sheathing and ruins insulation over a wide area.
