Mould Water Damage and Health risks We are possibly the UK’s leading experts in Biotoxin Contaminates and causation, and our surveys can include mould, mycotoxins, VOCs, bacteria, and chemical assessment. We work with NHS, leading clinics, and functional medicine professionals.
It is generally recognised that treatment of inflammatory response symptoms is unlikely to be very successful if exposure continues. Therefore, it is essential that competent investigation and conclusions are made, which identifies potential sources or triggers. These can be hidden or invisible to the naked eye and our surveys are designed to identify these risks or hazards, subject to instruction.
Key Point Objective To provide our clients and their medical team with information on which to base decisions on risks and hazards in the home which may affect their health. Also, to provide basic recommendations on remediation and renovation.
Cost While comprehensive lab analysis can be expensive low-cost inappropriate surveys can be worthless or risky because they cannot identify significant risk and hazard issues.
Building Forensics have coupled 30 years’ experience with medical science and state of the art lab analysis to provide the most cost-effective, meaningful survey on the market.
Remember your medical exposure and diagnosis and restoration/remediation may revolve around your home report and it is for you to decide the budget and depth of the report.
Can you afford a cheap mould survey? Free surveys These and low-cost surveys are the worst as they sell something to suit their findings and are not independent or likely to identify your issues. Lab analysis is relatively expensive but essential.
Unqualified opinion Ask to see evidence of qualification and competence for suitability as an Indoor Environmental Hygienist. Most quote irrelevant IICRC or BDMA qualification.
Worthless testing results There are many low-cost sampling techniques and even some expensive ones that provide no relevant information. This paper identifies issues you should recognise before you might waste your money.
