Scope
Defines inspection limits, areas assessed, whether sampling was performed, and any exclusions; helps recipients understand what was and was not evaluated.
A clear, consistent survey reduces uncertainty about indoor air quality, documents the presence or absence of mold, and establishes a remediation scope. Accurate surveys support disclosure requirements, inform remediation cost estimates, and help manage liability when property condition is disputed.
The survey is completed by trained inspectors or industrial hygienists and used by property stakeholders to make informed decisions.
Different users value specific sections (sampling data, photos, or recommendations) depending on whether the goal is disclosure, remediation, or an insurance claim.
Defines inspection limits, areas assessed, whether sampling was performed, and any exclusions; helps recipients understand what was and was not evaluated.
Room-by-room description of observed mold, stains, or water damage with photo references and approximate locations linked to the floor plan or photographs.
Instrument readings (moisture content, relative humidity) with measurement locations and thresholds used to interpret risk or active intrusion.
Laboratory air or surface sample findings with report interpretation, detection limits, and method used (e.g., spore trap, culture).
Actionable remediation and clearance testing guidance with priority levels, containment suggestions, and contractor scope examples.
Statements about accessibility, conditions during inspection, and any factors that could affect findings or require follow-up evaluation.
