Our job is to help you with high-quality evidence.

Here are some of the 9 typical reasons why a building might take on unwanted moisture or show mould or become contaminated from other bacterial, fungal or viral sources:
-
Rainwater entry
-
Capillary action or water across cladding or through weep holes
-
Vapour transport across walls, floors or ceilings due to insulation problems
-
Diffusion factors like rising damp or lateral transfer into below-ground rooms
-
Standing water conditions
-
Indoor surface condensation effects
-
Ventilation problems leading to elevated indoor humidity
-
Suspect or known building defects
-
Aerosol or surface fomite contamination from unwanted contact with infected materials or hosts having bacterial, fungal, yeast or viral infections that can be shed into the local environment and pose a cross-contamination risk.
If any of the above factors have or might have compromised your building, then get it tested.
We can help with high-quality scientific reports enabling you to confidently make decisions about the next steps that could be required to secure the health and safety of your building.
