While some mould is there for us to see in plain sight, some mould can hide under furnishings, carpet and even in wall cavities, making it difficult to find.
Some common causes of moisture issues include rising damp, inadequate ventilation, roof leaks, reoccurring water leaks, live in a flood zone, compromised water proofing, plumbing faults and, occupant behaviour not inline with the intended use/design of the structure.
If this sounds like your home and you think your might have a mould problem then make sure to contact for a phone consult.

WHAT A MOULD AND MOISTURE ASSESSMENT INVOLVES
❊ An extensive questionnaire.
❊ Research of the area where the building is located for conditions which may impact the site.
❊ A visual inspection to locate all moisture issues unique to the site which support microbial growth and determining the extent of moisture ingression.
❊ Determining the extent that mould has spread.
❊ Identifying air pathways that potentially spread fungal particulate throughout.
❊ A detailed audit report describing what we found, how we found it, advice on how to address the moisture and, how to attain normal fungal ecology (pre-damaged condition).*
❊ Options to re-test the site in order to verify remediation (where applicable).
WHAT EQUIPMENT IS USED
❊ Moisture meter equipment.
❊ Thermal imaging camera.
❊ Air sampling equipment.
❊ Surface sampling equipment.
❊ Destructive sampling equipment (optional).
❊ Other industry related tools.
*Advice on solutions will focus on fixing moisture issues before removing or cleaning contaminated materials and objects. Without fixing moisture issues, mould problems will return and particulate will spread. Mould is all over the planet and so, to mange it, we simply have to ensure our home environments do not support their growth indoors. These solutions can range from passive ventilation (opening of windows), cleaning regimes, exhaust fan improvements, removal of contaminated materials without further contamination of spaces, to whole house remediations with an IICRC certified remediator (these are just a few examples from a long list of options). Whatever the outcome, we are here to help you until the job is done with the appropriately qualified professionals.
