After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Wichita Falls, 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
Why does the trouble always start at the same place?
Because that is where two roofs meet and one of them cannot drain. The pitched roof delivers everything it collects onto a nearly flat section over the carport or porch, and that section has almost no fall to move it along. The junction takes the whole volume at the point it is least able to.
Does the rainfall pattern here make it worse?
Considerably. Under twenty-eight inches a year sounds undemanding, but it arrives in a small number of heavy events rather than steadily, so the low-slope section goes from dry to overwhelmed in an hour. A roof that copes for months is tested two or three times a year and fails then.
How far into the room does the work reach?
The ceiling below the junction and back into the room, along the framing rather than at the stain. Water entering at a change of pitch runs on the structure before it comes through, so the wet area follows the joists inward from the wall and is usually larger than the mark on the ceiling.
