After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Edmond, OK
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.

Frequently asked questions
What is the risk with a tap over the range?
The supply line behind the wall rather than the tap itself. Getting water to that position means running a line up inside the wall of a kitchen, with a connection at the fitting. Everything below it is cabinetry, appliances and flooring, and there is no drain to catch anything.
How would a slow leak show?
As damage below and beside the range rather than at the tap. Water running inside the wall reaches the bottom plate and travels along the cabinet run, so the sign is a swollen cabinet base or lifting flooring several feet away. The fitting above looks perfectly dry.
Is there anything worth doing when one is fitted?
Insisting on a shutoff that can be reached, and knowing where it is. Many of these are installed with no local isolation at all, which means stopping a failure requires shutting the house down. It is a small thing to specify at the time and impossible to add easily afterward.
