Specialist mould assessment services

Moulds are widespread in the environment and it is not possible to eliminate complete exposure. There are no clear guidelines as to how much mould is considered to be safe to be around. Therefore, it is generally recognised as best to remove any visible mould when present indoors, and to fix the underlying issue to minimise the risk of damaging health effects on those who are regularly in the space where there is mould found.

For these reasons, Fibresafe NZ has developed a simple mould assessment service that is designed to provide all of the information you need to plan remediation, address your mould issue and create a safe and comfortable environment. Our specialist team of assessors can help you with any mould problem you may have.

Standard mould assessment - inspection, investigation and recommendations

A standard mould assessment involves a systematic inspection of a building to check for the presence of mould and moisture and, most importantly, to investigate the root cause – the course of moisture ingress into the building. In some circumstances, samples can be taken to confirm the existence of mould in the building, and recommendations will be made to help plan remediation to prevent reoccurrence in the future. In most cases a standard mould assessment should be the starting point if you suspect you might have mould issues. Please contact us today to discuss your mould issue, and how we can assist you. Our team of mould removal specialists are here to help.

Intrusive Mould

Intrusive mould assessment - site specific checks in wall cavities etc

In some circumstances, a standard mould assessment may not be adequate as a service when trying to find the full extent of the mould issue. If a standard mould assessment has been unable to determine the presence and amount of mould seen, if there is evidence of concealed mould or moisture, or if you are looking to scope the full extent of mould for intentions of planning remediation, you may need an intrusive mould assessment.

An intrusive mould assessment involves checking concealed areas such as wall cavities that are not normally accessible for inspection or visibly seen. The scope of an intrusive mould assessment will depend on site-specific details and the purpose of the assessment. This type of mould testing is important, especially for leaking homes, as some mould that may be growing inside the wall cavities or other areas not able to be seen.

Lead testing by accredited professionals 

Lead can accumulate in the body over time after repeated exposure which can come from a range of sources including: lead-based paints or through lead-contaminated soil. Fibresafe NZ can test for lead in paint and soil and provide a report, and advice for what to do if lead contamination levels are high.

Lead-based paints were common in New Zealand homes pre 1980, so if you are planning any renovation work, it's wise to test any paint you will be stripping beforehand, as the dust from lead based paint can create a serious health hazard for the person doing the job, anyone in the home or building, and any next door neighbours and children.
