After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Eau Claire, WI
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 the downspouts taken off at all?
To save them. A fixed downspout fills with ice in a winter this long, and ice expanding in a closed length splits the seam and tears the brackets out of the siding. Taking the lower section off each autumn is a genuinely sensible local habit.
What goes wrong with it?
Nobody puts them back. The habit is autumn work and the reverse is spring work that never gets scheduled, so by June the gutters are collecting a heavy summer month and discharging it straight down at the foundation from an open stub.
What is the better arrangement?
Hinged or removable extensions that clip on and off in a minute, which takes the effort out of putting them back. Failing that, the useful move is simply to make it a spring job with a date on it rather than something that happens when somebody notices.
