A large percentage of “detections” are bs.
EG: my next door neighbor had the flooring in his place pulled up because a mold inspector (who, conveniently, was available to do the work) [/quote]
Urban,
Doesn’t surprise me that many inspectors might be less than honest. Rule one about this should be, that the inspector does NOT do the repairs. In our case, the inspector did not even recommend people who do repairs.
So, I would second your view. Getting a good/honest inspector is more important than anything. Having the thermal imaging device doesn’t make him good or honest, it’s just one possible tool. And certainly don’t hire an inspector who is going to generate work for himself.
