After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Cedar Park, TX
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 is this different from a brick front?
By the gap. A brick veneer stands off the wall with a cavity behind it that drains, and this does not: the stone is thin and bedded in mortar straight onto the sheathing, so there is nothing between the facing and the wall and nowhere for water to go.
What happens to the sheathing?
It stays wet. Water that gets through the facing or its joints has no cavity to drain down, so it sits against the board behind and soaks in, and in a wall with no gap there is no route for it to dry outward either. That is where the damage is.
How is the extent established?
From inside, because nothing outside shows it. The stone looks the same whatever is behind it, so the wall is read from the room face and opened where the readings lead. Taking the facing off is destructive and is a last step rather than a first.
