Damp & Mould Inspection
Thermography & IAQ Survey
Service Description
A Damp and Mould inspection is essential for detecting moisture intrusion and mould issues early, ensuring the health and safety of occupants, keeping the building structurally sound, and protecting the financial value of the property. Here is what you can expect: 1. Visual Inspection: Systematic examination of interior and exterior building elements for visible signs of damp, mould, and structural deficiencies. 2. Infrared Thermography (Thermal Imaging): Detection of temperature anomalies indicating hidden moisture. 3. Moisture Meter Readings: Quantification of dampness in masonry, plaster, and floor slabs. 4. Humidity Measurements: Comparison of indoor and outdoor relative humidity levels. 5. Indoor Air Quality Testing: Assessment for airborne particulates (PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10) and common indoor pollutants (CO2, HCHO, CO, TVOC). 6. Non-Invasive Leak Detection: Inspection of plumbing systems to rule out active leaks. 7. Water Pressure Testing: Water pressure is important for diagnosing plumbing problems and preventing issues like leaks or faulty fixtures. 8. Mould Surface Testing: On request, swabs may be taken from suspect surfaces to identify types of mould present, which can help determine the best remediation strategies. 9. Report Delivery: After the inspection, a certified inspection report outlining any moisture intrusion and mould presence would be provided with appropriate remediation solutions. In summary, a professional damp and mould inspection is crucial for identifying, mitigating, and preventing the hidden threats that moisture poses while preventing further degradation of building structure.
