Is the parking structure included in a complete mold inspection?

In a complete mold inspection, the parking structure is typically not included unless there are specific indicators or existing concerns about mold in that area. Mold inspections generally focus on areas within a building that are prone to moisture accumulation, such as basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and areas with roofing or plumbing issues. Parking structures, being primarily outdoor or semi-outdoor with different environmental conditions, are less likely to foster the kind of mold growth that inspectors are primarily concerned with.

While mold can certainly be a concern in many environments, the typical scope of a thorough mold inspection does not extend to parking structures unless there’s noticeable a problem or evidence of moisture problems that could lead to mold growth. This approach helps ensure that resources and efforts are focused on the parts of a property where mold is more likely to be an issue, rather than stretching the inspection to areas that generally do not warrant it.
