Mould Testing & Analysis

Evidence-based mould testing and analysis for residential and commercial properties

What is Mould?

Mould is a type of fungi that thrives in damp and humid environments, reproducing through tiny spores that travel through the air. It can grow on various surfaces, such as walls, ceilings, and flooring, and is often found in areas with poor ventilation or moisture issues. Mould not only causes structural damage but can also pose significant health risks, making prompt mould testing and analysis essential. Poor temperature control, inadequate building ventilation systems, flood damage and home maintenance issues (e.g., leaking roofs, damaged windowsills, cracked water pipes), are common causal factors for growth and infestation.

Why is Testing & Analysis Crucial?

Mould is more than an unsightly stain on a wall or ceiling – it’s a potential health concern for both humans and property structures. While some people might experience mild reactions like sneezing or itchy eyes, others may face more serious respiratory issues, particularly those with asthma or compromised immune systems. Mould can grow hidden from view, spreading through carpets, behind walls, or within furniture before becoming visible. This is why mould testing and analysis are so crucial.

Expert testing and analysis helps identify the presence and type of mould in a given environment, ensuring accurate diagnosis and effective remediation strategies. Mould exposure testing is vital to determine potential health risks, as prolonged exposure can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems. A comprehensive mould inspection report, which includes mould air quality testing and airborne mould testing, provides a clear picture of the extent of contamination and guides appropriate mitigation measures.
