Identifying Water Damage and Mold
When inspecting for water damage and mold in a house, it's crucial to understand that most mold is hidden behind walls and not visible to the naked eye. Inspectors often rely on moisture meters and infrared cameras to detect moisture and temperature differences, but these tools do not directly indicate the presence of mold. The majority of issues in homes stem from past leaks or floods that have dried up, rather than from current wet areas. Therefore, thorough inspection techniques beyond visual checks are necessary to identify potential water damage in buildings.
