After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Lubbock, 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.
Independent local assessors · no obligation to proceed
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 do the turbines on the roof actually do?
They pull air out of the attic, and here they do it constantly. A turbine turns whenever the wind blows, and on the High Plains that is most of the time, so the attic is held below the pressure of the house beneath it rather than simply being ventilated.
Why does a depressurized attic matter?
Because it draws from the house. A lower pressure above means air is pulled up out of the living space through every gap in the ceiling, and that air carries moisture with it into a cold roof space. The result is a damp attic with no leak anywhere.
Is more ventilation the answer?
It is usually the opposite. Adding ventilation increases the draw, so the sensible move is sealing the ceiling plane so the attic stops pulling from the house, and then letting the turbines vent the roof space rather than the rooms. That is the order it is done in.
