Wall Cavity Testing
The Importance of Wall Cavity Testing for Microbial Growth When it comes to microbial growth in a structure, what you see on the surface is often just the tip of the iceberg. Hidden behind walls, inside cavities, and beneath floors, microbial growth can quietly spread, causing structural damage and posing serious health risks. This is where wall cavity testing becomes an invaluable tool in the discovery and remediation process. It allows restoration professionals to uncover the full scope of contamination, leading to more accurate remediation strategies and better overall outcomes. What is Wall Cavity Testing? Wall cavity testing involves inspecting and sampling the hidden spaces within walls to determine the presence and extent of microbial growth, such as mold or bacterial contamination. Since moisture and microbial growth often develop behind drywall, paneling, or insulation — areas not visible to the naked eye — surface-level inspections alone can miss critical issues. C...
