After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in North Las Vegas, NV
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
How does a garden wall cause flooding?
By stopping water. These walls are solid masonry built down to the ground with nothing through them, so when a storm sends water across the slope it banks up on the uphill side of a wall and rises until it finds a gate or comes over the top.
Should there be drainage through them?
There generally should be, and on a great many of these there is not, or there was and it has been rendered or planted over. A few openings at ground level along the low side of a wall change the behavior of the whole yard.
Does it matter what the neighbor does?
A great deal, because the yards are compartments in a chain. A neighbor who blocks the openings in their wall sends water to yours instead, and one who opens theirs may send more. It is worth a conversation before anybody starts drilling.
