There is a guy around that uses an IR camera which I've heard highly recommended.
I used AirVironment Canada for a secondary inspection (I lived in toxic mold and am now quite sensitive and was nervous moving into a 100 year old house) and they actually found out that my roof was leaking using their moisture detectors. This was when the home inspector said it was good for 5 more years.

Yeah. Don't use Pillar to Post. I've had experience with them a couple times.
Once to purchase our home. Seemed like a good inspection at the time. Pointed out deficiencies and provided us with a detailed overview of the house.
Cut to two years later when we're selling the house. Pillar to Post was called again by the buyer. That inspector found Zonolite insulation was used (which contains asbestos). Once that was found we would have had to disclose it to all potential buyers. Thankfully the buyer still wanted the house but wanted us to remove and re-insulate the house.
The first guy either didn't know what to look for or didn't look at all.
