After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Harrisburg, PA
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
What is the back building?
A narrower two-story wing running out behind the main block, built at the same time as the house. It gives the kitchen and the rooms above it, and because it is a separate volume with its own roof there is a junction where the two roofs meet.
Why is that junction the problem?
Because it takes water from both roofs and it is enclosed on both sides by the neighbors' wings. It cannot be reached easily to be maintained, and whatever detail is there was formed between two buildings rather than on an open roof.
Where does it show inside?
Usually in the main block rather than the wing. Water entering at the junction runs on the structure of the main roof before it comes through, so the mark is on a ceiling in the front part of the house while the failure is at the back.
