Air quality testing: stop guessing, start knowing.
Spores are invisible, so mould arguments are usually opinion against opinion. An independent laboratory report ends that
— for you, for your tenant, for your insurer, for your body corporate.
Three questions testing answers
Is there actually a problem?
Some homes smell musty and test clean. Others look fine and don't. Numbers settle it.
What kind, and how much?
Species and concentrations, measured against an outdoor control sample from your own property.
Is it fixed?
Re-test after treatment, and you hold documented proof, not a contractor’s assurance.
How the sampling works
A calibrated pump draws 15 litres of air per minute for five minutes per sample. Most homes need between three and four internal samples
plus one outdoor control. Samples are couriered to Independent Environmental & Consulting Laboratories (IECL) in Brisbane
— a third-party lab that never sees the property. We don't analyse our own work; that's the point.
What's in your report
Air sampling results
Species identified and spore concentrations for every sample, indoor and outdoor.
Conclusions
Whether your indoor levels are elevated against the outdoor baseline, and what that indicates.
Recommendations
The remediation and prevention work indicated, in plain English, so you can act on it.
Results typically come back within five to seven business days, and we'll walk you through the report
rather than emailing you a PDF and leaving you to interpret it.
When a report earns its keep
- A rental dispute where cause and responsibility are contested
- Body corporate decisions that need evidence before money is spent
- Workplaces, childcare centres and schools with duty-of-care obligations
- Insurance and post-flood claims, where “dried out” needs proving
- Before you buy, when a building inspection flags damp or a musty smell
- A household with ongoing symptoms and no visible mould to explain them
Pricing
- Air sampling (most homes need between three and four)$150 + GST per sample
- Formal assessment and written report (results, conclusions, recommendations)
Laboratory fees are included. Locations further afield may attract a travel component, confirmed before booking — never added afterwards. Prices ex GST.
