What actually happens
An inspection is a diagnostic visit, not a cleanup
A technician walks the property and looks at what’s actually there: staining on drywall or framing, musty odor without a visible source, past water damage, and anywhere moisture could be getting in. A moisture meter checks readings behind baseboards, around window frames, and in framing members that look fine on the surface but read wet underneath. On some visits a thermal imaging camera is used to spot temperature differences in a wall or ceiling that can point to trapped moisture before it ever shows as a stain. Nothing gets removed or disturbed during an inspection. The point is to find out what’s going on and where, so any remediation that follows is scoped correctly instead of guessed at.
Spring thaw pushes meltwater against foundations and window wells just as basements are least ventilated. Humid summer stretches raise indoor moisture levels across the whole house, including attics and closets on exterior walls. Winter brings the opposite problem: warm, moist indoor air condensing against cold surfaces behind drywall, in attics, and around poorly insulated windows. An inspection booked right after one of these seasonal shifts, or right before winter sets in, often catches moisture patterns that would be harder to spot at a random time of year. If you’re not sure whether now is a good time to have your home looked at, mention what season prompted the concern when you call.

Mold inspection questions
What does a mold inspection in Ottawa cost?
A typical Ottawa-market range for a visual mold inspection is $200 to $500, depending on the size of the property and how many areas need to be checked. Ask for a free estimate for an exact number based on your situation.
Does an inspection include lab testing?
Not automatically. An inspection is a visual, on-site assessment with moisture readings and sometimes a thermal camera. If the findings suggest hidden mold or you need documentation for a transaction, testing with lab-sampled air or surface swabs can be added separately.
How long does a mold inspection take?
Most residential inspections take under two hours on site, depending on the size of the home and how many rooms or areas are flagged for a closer look.
Will I get something in writing?
Yes. Every inspection ends with a written report covering what was found, where, moisture readings taken, and recommended next steps, with photos from the visit.
Can an inspection tell me if my attic or basement has mold?
Yes, attics, basements, and crawl spaces are common inspection points since they're the areas most prone to trapped moisture and poor airflow in Ottawa homes.
Not sure if you need an inspection?
Call and describe what you're seeing or smelling. We'll tell you honestly whether an inspection makes sense for your situation.
