Common Questions
Inspection FAQ
What happens during an inspection?
A professional inspection includes a full visual assessment, moisture mapping of walls, floors, and ceilings, identifying the source of water intrusion, evaluating HVAC, crawl space, or attic if needed, and optional mold testing when warranted. The goal is to find the root cause and define the scope.
How long does an inspection take?
Most inspections take 30–60 minutes for smaller issues and 1–2 hours for more complex situations. Accuracy is prioritized over speed.
Do I need to be home during the inspection?
It is highly recommended so you can point out concerns, receive real-time explanations, and fully understand the findings.
How do you find hidden moisture or mold?
We use moisture meters (pin and pinless), thermal imaging cameras, and humidity readings to detect issues behind walls, under floors, and above ceilings.
Can you tell what caused the problem?
In most cases, yes. Common causes include plumbing leaks, roof leaks, HVAC condensation issues, and crawl space or foundation moisture. Identifying the cause is critical to prevent recurrence
How much does an inspection cost?
Basic inspections typically range from free to $150. Inspections with testing usually range from $300 to $1,200+, depending on size, complexity, and number of samples.
