During our Bergen County NJ mold inspections, we scan the walls and ceilings with an InfraRed Thermal Imaging camera as a guide for suspected water or moisture, and then utilize two different moisture meters for areas of suspected moisture or water at the time of the inspection. Areas may have water or moisture marks but not be elevated or wet at the time of the inspection (e.g. past leak). These areas are prone to mold and sampling is recommended.
