What can mold inspections show?
An inspection looks at the property and available evidence. However, sealed walls, locked rooms and stored items may limit what the inspector can see. Ask the inspector to explain these limits. Also, separate a confirmed finding from an area that needs a closer check.
What does a thermal camera do?
During a moisture inspection, a thermal image can show surface temperature patterns. However, it does not identify mold. A cold or warm patch may guide further checks, but the inspector must consider building conditions and other findings. This matters before you approve opening a wall.
Compare mold inspection findings
Ask whether the findings call for cleanup and moisture repairs or further investigation. Routine air sampling is not usually needed to find a household mold problem; see Health Canada’s guidance. For mold inspections in Toronto and the GTA, contact BlackMold.ca.
Also, ask for mold inspection notes that separate visible findings from possible causes. For example, a water stain may justify a closer check without proving mold behind the wall. Keep that distinction in the written notes.
