They can note obvious visible staining, but hidden mold — which is the most common type in South Florida properties — requires thermal imaging, air sampling, and laboratory analysis that fall entirely outside a standard home inspection scope.
Ask for the inspection report and the name of the company. Verify their state licensure. If the inspection was conducted by a company without a state mold assessor license, or if the report doesn't include laboratory analysis, it doesn't meet professional standards. An independent assessment from a licensed third party protects your interests in a way a seller-commissioned inspection cannot.
