After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Lewisville, 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
What is the ledge at the bottom of the brick?
Part of the slab. The floor was poured with a turned-down edge and a shelf formed into it to carry the weight of the masonry, so there is a concrete step running round the building under the brick. Anything draining down the back of that wall arrives on it.
Where is it supposed to go from there?
Out through openings left in the bottom course. That is the whole design: water gets behind brick, runs down and leaves at the ledge. When those openings are blocked by mortar or by landscaping built up against the wall, the water has nowhere to go and stands on the shelf instead.
What does standing water on the ledge reach?
The bottom plate of the wall above it and the edge of the slab itself. That is the lowest timber in the building and it is being fed from the outside, so the damage starts there and works up, and the room inside reads dry at hand height while the base is wet.
