Independent inspection and testing

Wall Cavity Mold Testing

Wall cavity testing samples air from inside an enclosed wall through a small opening, which helps when a leak or odor suggests growth that cannot be seen.

What to expect

A clear, property-specific scope

The inspector starts with the property history and the reason for the visit. Accessible areas within the agreed scope are reviewed, relevant measurements are documented, and sampling is recommended only when it can answer a defined question.

  • Property history and concern review
  • Visual assessment of relevant accessible areas
  • Clear findings and recommended next steps

When wall cavity testing is recommended

It is considered after a plumbing leak inside a wall, when moisture readings are elevated, or when an odor persists without a visible source.

Minimal intrusion

Sampling uses a small access point. The inspector explains the location before sampling.

Common questions

Will you open up the wall?

Wall cavity sampling uses a small hole, not demolition. Any opening is discussed with you first.
