Visual Inspection: The inspector will start with a visual inspection of the property, looking for signs of mold growth such as discoloration, water stains, or musty odours. They may use tools like moisture meters to detect areas of high humidity which could indicate potential mold growth.

Moisture Detection: Since moisture is a key factor in mold growth, inspectors will often use specialized equipment to detect moisture levels in various building materials such as drywall, wood, or insulation. High moisture levels can indicate areas where mold is likely to grow.

Air Sampling: In some cases, air sampling may be conducted to assess the concentration of mold spores in the air. This can help identify hidden mold growth or assess the effectiveness of remediation efforts.

Surface Sampling: Samples of visible mold growth may be collected for laboratory analysis to determine the type of mold present and its spore count. This information can help guide the remediation process.

Report and Recommendations: Based on the findings of the inspection, the inspector will provide a detailed report outlining the extent of the mold problem, its potential causes, and recommendations for remediation. This may include suggestions for moisture control measures to prevent future mold growth.
