Meet Bryan, a mould investigator with building biology expertise and a mission to restore health, as he explains what’s involved with mould inspections and mould testing.
We begin with a complimentary discovery call to listen and understand your mould concerns. Here, we may ask questions regarding your exposure history, your home or ask you to complete our online survey.
We provide in-depth home inspection, visual assessment, thermal imaging, moisture metering, targeted mould testing of air and surfaces and mould identification. We aren’t afraid to go where others won’t - Roof spaces, subfloors, wall cavities, and tight crawl spaces.
We perform non-destructive visual inspection looking for signs or evidence of moisture in building materials, mould and water damage & odours. We can use thermal imaging devices, digital moisture-mapping equipment, and techniques for moisture, temperature, and humidity assessment.
We perform microbial sampling of air and/or surfaces collecting samples (both viable and non-viable mould spores, pollen, insect parts, skin cell fragments, asbestos fibres, fibreglass, etc.). Samples are sent to a laboratory to provide you with evidence of observed mould growth, airborne mould concentrations, predominant genera (families) of mould and differences between the control sample (outdoor) and the rooms inside.
Our findings are customised to your budget and needs and delivered as either a high points summary of findings, an executive report, or a comprehensive consulting report.
Follow-up phone or video call to answer your questions, clarify the findings and help you with the next steps. We are also happy to talk to your mould remediation company directly.
We also provide independent qualified post remediation verification, mould testing and evaluations so you know that the mould remediation is successful.
*If you’re considering a physical inspection without mould testing, please call to discuss the limitations of this package first, as this option is generally not recommended.
Maybe you’re not ready for a full property inspection or you’d like expert advice about a mould, water damage, condensation issues or renovation concerns. While an online consultation can’t replace an in-person home inspection, it’s still a valuable way to explore specific issues or questions you may have about a property.
Our paid online / video consultation gives you direct access to our specialists for a one-on-one discussion, available for 30, 45, or 60 minutes and can be held online (a link will be provided after booking) or by phone/FaceTime.
Ideal for: Pre-purchase advice, properties in regional or remote locations, renovations or for those that just need guidance and clarity on specific mould/moisture related issues and their next steps.

Previous water damage & mould issues:
We prefer to inspect your home in its regular, lived-in appearance, without extra cleaning before we arrive. However, if you clean daily for health reasons, please let us know beforehand.
Our professional mould investigations typically involve a thorough visual inspection of the property using specialised equipment, the collection of measurable data and microbial samples, and laboratory analysisto support our reports and recommendations.
A typical inspection takes up to 2 – 3hrs, but the exact duration can vary depending on the size of the home and the extent of mould/water damage.
You don’t need to be present unless you want to; we suggest being available at the start to discuss concerns and at the end to review initial findings.
Our inspectors may wear a mask in certain situations, such as entering a roof space or subfloor, or when there is extensive visible mould.
We respect shoe etiquette in homes and are OK with taking off our shoes or wearing boot covers. There may be situations that require us to wear our shoes (such as climbing ladders or accessing roof spaces) for occupational safety reasons. For these instances, we will use a disposable mat to prevent direct shoe contact with your flooring.
Yes. Please let us know your needs in advance, and we will avoid perfumes, scented products, and other triggers, and we can also wear disposable boot covers if you prefer.
During an inspection, we may need to move furniture, look in cupboards or open drawers to do a thorough assessment— which means we might come across some of your personal items. Please rest assured that we always maintain the utmost professionalism and respect your privacy at all times.
Our mould inspections do not include testing for electromagnetic fields (EMF), chemicals, pollen, or other allergens.
No. While an ERMI can help identify the general presence of mould in a property, such as during an initial home assessment or when recommended by a medical professional, it cannot determine the location, extent, or cause of mould and moisture problems.
Laboratory analysis usually takes about 3 days. For urgent situations, we can provide verbal preliminary results soon after laboratory analysis. The final written report is typically delivered within 7 business days after inspection and analysis.
Environmental dysbiosis in buildings refers to an unhealthy imbalance in the indoor microbial community, where excess moisture promotes the overgrowth of certain moulds, bacteria, and other microorganisms, disrupting the normal microbial ecosystem and potentially increasing health risks for occupants.
No. We provide mould inspection and post-remediation verification (PRV) services, independent of mould cleaning and remediation providers. This separation helps avoid conflicts of interest and ensures that we align with industry standards (such as IICRC S520).
Yes, of course. Every inspection includes a follow-up call to answer any questions about your report. We want you to fully understand the findings and recommendations so you can make informed decisions about your next steps. If you need ongoing support, we offer paid for phone/virtual or remote consultations to help with remediation planning, choosing contractors, or navigating insurance claims.
