After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Goldsboro, NC
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
The roof is metal and it is new. Why is it leaking?
Often it is not leaking where the water enters the house. Metal laid over the original shingles leaves a void, and anything that gets past the outer layer runs along the old covering until it finds a nail hole or a seam and drops through there. The wet spot inside can be a long way from the actual entry.
Does the metal have to come off to sort it?
Sometimes a section does, and it is worth knowing early. The void cannot be inspected or dried from inside the house, and the old covering in it stays wet. Where readings on the deck stay high after the ceiling has come down, opening the roof along the run is the only way to reach it.
How is the deck dried if the void is sealed above it?
From the attic side, with air directed along the underside of the deck. It is slower than drying a deck that can breathe both ways, and the readings crawl once the surface has come down. Where they will not move at all, the layer above is the reason and the roofing work has to happen first.
