GTA Restoration offers property inspection services in Toronto and the GTA. We help owners, landlords, condo managers and businesses check leaks, wet materials and mould concerns. Tell us about new stains, musty smells or past water damage. Then we can discuss the scope and access.
First, we review the problem and check areas we can reach safely. We may use moisture meters and thermal imaging to narrow the search. Next, we explain what the findings suggest and which checks or repairs may be needed.
The visit focuses on signs of damage and possible water sources. Depending on the problem, we look for:
These checks help guide leak repairs, drying or cleanup. However, some findings may call for closer access before we can confirm the cause.
Water can move behind walls and under floors before a stain appears. As a result, the visible mark may be far from the source. Tell us when it first appeared and whether it grows after rain or plumbing use.
A moisture meter helps check wet materials. Thermal imaging shows surface heat patterns; it does not see through walls, measure moisture directly or detect mould. Instead, we compare those patterns with readings and visible signs.
For a suspected leak, read about our water leak detection service.
We check accessible areas near kitchens, bathrooms, basements, windows and pipes. Business sites may also need checks around shared systems or plant rooms. In addition, tell us about access limits, tenant hours and any earlier repair work.
Before / after

Use the slider to see an infrared leak inspection of the house by dragging it left and right.
A roof leak, poor drainage or a pipe fault can leave similar stains. For this reason, we check the damaged area and nearby water paths. The City of Toronto’s basement flooding guidance explains common causes and ways to reduce risk.
Visible mould or a smell that returns may point to damp materials. However, cleaning the surface alone will not stop a leak. Ask what the signs show and whether hidden layers need a closer check.
Our mould removal team can discuss cleanup. After a leak or flood, our water damage team can also assess drying needs.
New paint or drywall may hide a problem that is still active. Therefore, review the source before putting finishes back. We explain the findings, limits of the visit and any further access needed.
A visual check cannot reveal every hidden space. If a wall or floor needs opening, discuss the reason, access and repair scope first.
No. Our property inspection focuses on leaks, moisture, mould and damage that may need restoration. It does not replace a full pre-purchase home inspection covering major building systems.
Instead, arrange this service when stains, damp areas or unexplained water damage need a closer look.

GTA Restoration provides property inspection and moisture checks in Toronto and the GTA. First, share the signs you have noticed. Then, discuss access and assessment needs.
Stains, swollen trim and warped floors may show old or current damage. Therefore, check before replacing finishes and note changes over time.
Water can travel behind walls and under floors. Also, explain patterns such as drips after rain or dampness when appliances run.
A thermal image alone does not prove moisture or mould. For this reason, crews compare heat patterns, meter readings and the materials to assess the signs.
Dampness may involve pipes, seepage, drainage or condensation. Therefore, check around the wet spot and note what seems to trigger the problem.
Instead of painting over returning stains, record when they worsen. Also, mention past roof repairs to guide checks of the rooms below.
Discuss musty smells and visible growth alongside the moisture source. However, some hidden areas may need further access before their condition is clear.
Arrange a contact for shared roofs, pipes and nearby units. Also, explain working hours, tenant needs and areas the team cannot reach.
Bring photos and details of earlier leaks. In addition, explain repairs already made so the team can plan where to start.
Readings help narrow the search before opening walls. If direct access is needed, ask why and confirm it fits the agreed scope.
This is a moisture and restoration assessment, not a full pre-purchase home inspection. Next steps may include leak repairs, drying or mould cleanup.
