 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very disappointed with how 5 micron left my walls and building agree inspection
Usually a company would take carpet up in the corner of the room they did it right in the middle 47 cuts and slashes
Gave them a chance to make repairs - they refused
Be careful when using them and always have someone who knows what they are doing onsite
Refused to fix any of it
Costing me thousands- they said the building was going to be completely renovated - reason for sloppy job but I never told them that

General inspector and real estate agent very impressed as well.  Can't go wrong with these guys.  Bit expensive but you get what you pay for here.

I had some concerns for mold in my office after gone through some water damage a year back, and I contacted 5 microns, and they came in the following day and ran all the necessary tests. A couple days later they emailed my results with the breakdown of everything I needed to know and how to take care of my concerns! Pascal was also very professional! Highly recommend!

Mold Inspection After Water Damage

Water damage is one of the most common conditions that can lead to mold growth inside buildings. When building materials remain damp for extended periods, mold may begin developing on surfaces such as drywall, insulation, wood framing, or carpeting.

A mold inspection following water damage can help determine whether mold growth may be present and identify moisture conditions that could allow contamination to develop.

5 Microns Inc. provides independent mold inspection and testing services after water damage events.

Why Water Damage Can Lead to Mold

Mold requires moisture to grow. When water damage occurs, building materials may remain damp long enough for mold to begin developing.

Common causes of water damage include:

Plumbing leaks
Roof leaks
Flooding events
Appliance failures
Burst pipes
Storm damage

If moisture is not properly addressed, mold may begin growing within 24–48 hours in some conditions.

Areas Where Mold May Develop After Water Damage

Mold may begin growing in several locations after a water intrusion event.

Common areas include:

Water-damaged drywall
Ceiling cavities
Insulation inside walls
Carpeting or flooring materials
Wooden framing and subfloors

Because moisture can penetrate hidden building materials, mold growth may sometimes develop behind walls or ceilings.

Signs Mold May Be Present After Water Damage

Property owners may notice several indicators that mold may be developing.

Common signs include:

Musty odors after water damage
Discoloration on drywall or ceilings
Damp building materials
Visible mold growth
Persistent humidity in affected areas

These conditions may indicate that mold growth has begun following the water event.

What a Water Damage Mold Inspection Includes

A professional inspection may involve several components.

Visual Inspection

Evaluation of water-damaged areas and building materials.

Moisture Diagnostics

Moisture meters may be used to identify elevated moisture levels within walls, ceilings, or flooring.

Mold Sampling

Air or surface samples may be collected to evaluate mold levels inside the building.

Laboratory Analysis

Samples are analyzed by accredited laboratories to identify mold species and concentrations.

Independent Mold Inspection

5 Microns Inc. provides independent mold inspection and testing services.

We do not perform mold remediation, ensuring objective and unbiased findings.
