Mould, moisture & PureSpace

Assignments address reported concerns, baseline conditions and remediation decisions through inspection, moisture assessment, sampling where appropriate, interpretation and source-control recommendations.

  • Tourism & hospitality — baseline mould and indoor-environmental assessment
  • Residential property — resident-complaint mould and moisture investigation
  • Commercial property & manufacturing — mould-risk and remediation assessment
03

Food production & product assurance

Food-sector assignments connect operating conditions and laboratory analysis to quality, safety and export decisions.

  • Food manufacturing — airflow and cross-contamination risk assessment
