After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Pahrump, 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.
No obligation: the assessment comes before any scope
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 storm water supposed to go?
Nowhere in particular, which is the honest answer. There is no municipal storm system in the valley, so water that falls on a property either soaks in, evaporates, or runs onto the next property. Nothing was built to collect it.
Does that make drainage work pointless?
No, but it changes the target. Without an outlet to connect to, the aim is retention and infiltration on the lot itself: somewhere for water to sit safely away from the building until it soaks away, rather than a pipe to somewhere else.
What about water arriving from uphill?
That is the harder half, and it is worth dealing with before anything else. A berm or a cut-off across the uphill boundary keeps a neighbor's runoff out, and on ground this flat it takes very little to change where a sheet of water goes.
