    1 · Evidence

    Four photographs, each in the Evidence Frame.

    Case ID, photo number, view, room, capture date and status travel with every image. A wide shot places the problem; the close-ups show the pattern.

    Evidence diagram 01: wide view of a bedroom corner from the doorwayA technical sketch of a bedroom corner. The rear wall meets the right wall; a uPVC window with a reveal and sill sits on the right wall with a radiator beneath it. A picture hangs on the rear wall and the top edge of a bed is at bottom left. A stippled mould region runs down the corner beside the window, widest at the ceiling and tapering to the skirting board, marked with a red recording dot and the label mould, corner. The frame shows the whole wall, the window and the heating together.01First photographMould · cornerWide · from doorwayWall · window · heating

    Affected area: mould down the corner and along the top of the window revealTechnical drawing of a room corner at medium distance. The wall and ceiling junction runs across the top, the corner line drops down the centre-left, and a window reveal with its lintel sits on the right above the top of a radiator. Stippled mould growth runs down the corner from the ceiling and along the top of the reveal. A dashed outline marks its visible extent and a dimension line reads extent approximately 0.6 metres.02Medium · Window revealRecLintelRadiatorEXTENT ≈ 0.6 mSCALE 0.5 m

    The result, with the uncertainty left in.

    Seven separate fields. The likely pattern is stated with its alternatives, confidence and evidence quality are shown apart, and the gaps are listed so the next photographs are the right ones.

    What this can and cannot tell you

    Read the limits before you rely on it.

    What photographs can show

    • Where growth or staining is, and roughly how far it extends.
    • Patterns that point towards condensation, penetrating moisture or a leak.
    • How the problem changes over time when you keep adding dated photos.

    What photographs cannot show

    • Moisture content, wall construction or what is behind the surface.
    • Whether the air is harmful to anyone. We never diagnose health effects.
    • An official hazard rating. Only a qualified inspector can make that determination.
