After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Nashua, NH
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
Why is the family room taking so much longer than the rest of the house?
Because it is built on a different foundation. The original house has a basement under it, so water that gets through the floor drains and can be dealt with below. The addition is concrete bearing on the ground, and it holds what it takes up and releases slowly, especially in the colder half of the year.
What happens at the joint between the two?
It is read carefully, because it is where water crosses. Two structures built at different times meet at that line with no seal between them, so a loss on either side travels along it. The floor is checked on both sides of the joint and the wall above it is opened low if the readings there stay high.
Is a January loss in the addition worse than a July one?
Meaningfully, yes. The slab sits on ground that is frozen or near it and will barely release, so warming the room is the first step and the run is several days longer. In July the same floor is at a workable temperature and the job is ordinary. The rest of the house barely changes between seasons.
