After the drying
Mold Inspection & Testing in Hollandale, 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
What does it mean that the glaciers missed here?
That the landscape was never flattened or filled. The rest of the state was smoothed by ice and left with deep till; this corner kept its old valleys, so the ground is steep, the soil is thin and the bedrock is close underneath.
How does water move in ground like this?
Through the rock as much as through the soil. The bedrock is fractured, so water entering the ground travels along joints and bedding planes, and it can emerge as a spring on a hillside a long way from where it went in.
Does that change what drainage can achieve?
It changes where to put it. Intercepting surface water still works, but a good deal of what reaches a building here arrived through the rock rather than over the ground, and no amount of regrading affects that. Knowing which one you have matters first.
