What Mould Testers Do and How we can help
Inspection and Testing
We go to properties and determine if there is a leakage problem and from where it is coming from. Investigate any potential or existing Mould or Bacteria problems, We do this using sophisticated moisture testing equipment and infra red cameras and with experience we can pinpoint the areas affected.
We will normally take samples to identify what type of Mould or Bacteria we are dealing with and assist your concerns about your and your families health and Safety.
If there has been a sewer leak or there is stagnant water there is potential for serious health issues caused by Bacteria.
If it is a small problem we can assist you with remediation. If it is a larger problem we can recommend contractors who specialise in the cleaning and repair of Mouldy Properties, or properties that have been affected by sewage.
If you need a plumber, sparky or a builder we can suggest a number of good tradesman.

Testing
Some Moulds are toxic so testing identifies the type of Mould.
We will advise on the type of testing that needs to be carried out.
We will supply a written report on how to remediate.(a scope of works)
We will also test for Bacteria build-up where there has been stagnant water sitting or Sewage leaks.

Mould testing
Mould in NZ properties has become an increasing problem in the past few decades.
We are noted as a country with high levels of dampness in housing. This is because of our high outdoor humidity, relative poor housing stock and up to recently, inadequate insulation and heating.
A recent telephone survey found that 35% people identified with Mould in at least 1 room of their home, whilst 48% of those had mould in their bathroom and 47% in the master bedroom.

Over the last 30 years we have found there has been a change in the way we live in our homes. This is mainly because we are more security-conscious and energy conscious. We have all windows and doors locked preventing air movement throughout the home, we often dry our clothes inside on clothes horses or un-vented dryers causing the relative Humidity in homes to increase
assisting in the growth of mould.
There have also been changes in the building industry with the way houses are built and the materials used. There is a lot more cellulose based products. Houses are now basically sealed boxes encouraging mould to grow.
