Do you suspect water damage, mould issues and mycotoxin contamination, high levels of EMFs in your property?
40% OF AUSTRALIAN PROPERTIES HAVE CONDENSATION AND MOULD ISSUES
In 2016, the Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) estimated that 40% of Australian houses and apartments have condensation and mould issues. Sustained condensation in buildings is linked to negative impacts on human health, amenity and structural integrity. It is estimated the annual medical costs in Australia correlated to condensation and mould could well be in the billions. Most often, the rectification costs are high, time-consuming and more stressful for homeowners than the mitigation costs.
As a qualified mould testing technician, it is our job to assist customers in identifying sources of moisture, determine the severity of mould contamination, and ultimately provide a professional opinion to mitigate the condensation and mould issues in the property.
Mycotoxin Testing and Removal
Mycotoxins are byproducts of mould and may be present in water-damaged buildings. There are several mycotoxins that are classified as carcinogenic to humans by WHO. From our observations, Mycotoxins can persist for a long period of time after mould remediation has been completed. In the event no improvement is observed after mould removal, it is recommended to be tested for environmental mycotoxin. Learn more about mycotoxin testing and removal services.
In 2011, the WHO classifies radiofrequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans.
The classification was based on an increased risk for glioma, a malignant type of brain cancer, associated with wireless phone use. One study showed a 40% increased risk for gliomas for reported cell phone use of 30 minutes per day over a 10-year period.
"Given the potential consequences for public health of this classification and findings, it is important to take pragmatic measures to reduce exposure" said IARC Director Christopher Wild.
Services
-
Moisture & Mould Testing
We spend 93% of our time indoors. We want to ensure that those environments are free from environmental toxins that could negatively affect our health. Contact us to book a comprehensive moisture & mould testing. Learn more
-
Mycotoxin Testing & Removal
Mycotoxins are byproducts of mould and they can remain long after mould remediation or removal. Book us for airborne mycotoxin testing and removal. Learn more
-
EMF Testing
Electromagnetic Field (EMF) is now the fastest-growing environmental toxin. It is practically impossible to avoid EMFs but we still can find the sources and reduce exposure as practicable as possible. Learn more
-
PRV
Post Remediation Verification (PRV) is a process performed by an Indoor Environmental Professional (IEP) after a remediation project to determine the effectiveness of remediation and provides a risk assessment for re-occupancy. Learn More
