After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Layton, UT
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.
Quoted on site by the contractor who visits
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 are there two water lines to the house?
One is treated and one is not. The house supply is drinking water and the second line is untreated water for outdoor use, which is how a great deal of watering is done here. They are brought into the property together and the second is only charged for part of the year.
When do failures in it show up?
In spring, when it is charged. Anything that split over the winter is a dry pipe until the season starts, so the failure is discovered by the system being turned on rather than by anything happening at the time. It then runs into ground that is already full.
Does it matter that the water is untreated?
It does for what gets handled how. It is not drain water, but it is not drinking water either, so ground and materials it reaches are treated with more caution than a clean supply failure would call for. That is established before anything is dried.
