Mould inspection report app
A homeowner or tenant books a mould inspection when the smell will not go away or the black spotting keeps coming back after cleaning. The report has to find the moisture source, not just describe the mould: a leaking shower, a missing exhaust fan, condensation on a cold wall. Moisture readings mapped room by room are what make the cause defensible. SurveyThanks records each affected area with its readings, extent and the likely source.
Built for homeowners running teams of roughly 3–50 inspectors.

Mould assessment report
Mould assessment — 27 Pretend Street
- Reason for inspection
- Recurring mould in two bedrooms
- Inspected
- 21 July 2026, outside 11 °C, 85% RH
- Instruments
- Pin and pinless moisture meters, hygrometer
| Area | Observation | Moisture |

Fields captured on site
Your firm builds the form in-app, so these are a starting point rather than a fixed schema. Every field is captured on the device, with or without signal, and lands in the mould assessment report where your template puts it.
Conditions
- Outdoor temperature and humidity
- Indoor temperature and humidity per room
- Occupant-reported history
Per affected area
- Room and surface
- Extent (m²)
- Moisture reading
- Probable source (leak, condensation, rising damp)
- Photo with comment
Recommendations
- Source correction
- Remediation scope
- Re-test recommended (Y / N)
Standards the report works to
- ANSI/IICRC S520Standard for Professional Mould Remediation
- Widely used in Australia for remediation scope and condition classification, though it is a US-published standard.
Load the standards you hold into your reference library and the drafted prose is written against them rather than against a general model.
How the mould assessment report gets built
Capture it once, offline
Your firm builds the mould inspection form in-app — 25 field types, nesting repeatable groups, compound AND/OR visibility rules, reusable modules and calculated fields. Field capture works with no signal: jobs, forms, photos, notes and audio all queue in an idempotent outbox that only clears once the server confirms receipt.
Link it to your rooms and external areas
Enter rooms and external areas once, as a register. Every one of your defects, photos and timber pest findings then points at a stored row rather than a name somebody typed — and the links survive a disconnected device.
Render your own template
The mould assessment report renders into the Word template you already use — your letterhead, your section order, your clause library — with conditionals, loops over repeats, composable sub-templates and photo grids.
Reviewed before it leaves
You write the review framework: a checklist of what a mould assessment report must contain, plus the prose standards you would mark a junior against. Link it to a report template and it runs every time that template renders. Each finding comes back graded info, minor or major, quoting the sentence at fault, and a person accepts or dismisses every one.
Because the structured submission behind the report is held too, the review is a comparison rather than a proofread: The summary says no major defects were found; the form carries a major structural defect on the rear wall.
Checks a residential property framework usually carries
- The standard’s required wording, limitations and exclusions are all present
- Every area is either reported on or listed as not accessed, with a reason
- Each defect in the summary appears in the body at the same severity
- Timber pest findings carry the risk statement the standard requires
Questions
- Can we record readings in every room without slowing down?
- Rooms are a repeatable section with number fields for each reading, and voice capture lets you speak readings and have them proposed into the right fields for you to accept.
- Can extent be totalled across the house?
- A calculated field can sum the affected area across every room, so the summary’s total matches the room-by-room figures.
- Can the report distinguish tenant and landlord issues?
- You can add a responsibility field to each source and have your template group the findings accordingly; the classification is the inspector’s.
What this is not
Worth knowing before you book a demo, so neither of us wastes the half hour.
- Not field-service dispatch. No timesheets, no parts, no inventory. Scheduling exists to get an inspector to a site.
- No signature capture. If your deliverable has to carry a signed sign-off on the artefact itself, this is not the tool yet.
- Field capture is what works offline — jobs, forms, photos, notes and audio. Reports, chat, scheduling and the inbox need a connection.
- No client portal. Reports go out as a file or a password-protected link.
