After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Kent, WA
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 much runoff does a paved site produce?
Nearly all of what lands on it, where a field would absorb most. A distribution yard of several acres sheds an enormous volume in a wet November, and unlike a storm on a lawn it does this steadily through the whole season rather than briefly.
Where does the site runoff come out?
At designed outfalls, which means it arrives at points rather than spreading. That concentration is what causes the damage: a single discharge into a ditch or a culvert beside a residential street is carrying the equivalent of a great many roofs.
Is the discharge anybody's to question?
It is, and that is worth knowing. Large sites operate under drainage approvals with conditions on rate and volume, and those are public. A neighborhood that can point at a specific outfall is in a far stronger position than one describing a wet street.
