Mould Detection

Advanced mould identification and assessment services to protect your health and property from moisture-related damage and contamination.

Mould is a silent destroyer that can compromise both your health and your property’s structural integrity. Often growing in hidden spaces like wall cavities, under flooring, or behind fixtures, mould contamination can go undetected for months or years before becoming visible. Our advanced mould detection services use professional-grade moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and air quality testing equipment to identify mould presence and moisture sources before they become major problems. We don’t just look for obvious signs – we investigate the underlying conditions that allow mould to thrive, including poor ventilation, water leaks, and humidity issues.

The health implications of mould exposure are serious and far-reaching, particularly for children, elderly individuals, and those with respiratory conditions. Mould spores can trigger allergic reactions, asthma attacks, and other respiratory problems, while some toxic moulds can cause more severe health complications. Our comprehensive mould assessments provide detailed reports on contamination levels, affected areas, and remediation recommendations. We help you understand not just where mould exists, but why it’s occurring and how to prevent its return.

Gas Leak Detection

Gas leaks represent one of the most serious safety hazards in any property, with the potential for explosions, fires, and fatal carbon monoxide poisoning. Natural gas and LPG (liquid petroleum gas) are odourless in their natural state, making leaks difficult to detect without professional equipment. Our gas leak detection services employ electronic gas detectors, pressure testing equipment, and specialized leak detection solutions to identify even the smallest gas escapes from appliances, pipework, and connections. We systematically test all gas installations including hot water systems, heating units, cooktops, ovens, and outdoor BBQ connections to ensure complete system integrity.

Early detection of gas leaks can literally save lives and prevent catastrophic property damage. Gas accumulation in enclosed spaces creates explosive conditions that can be triggered by something as simple as an electrical switch or spark. Our comprehensive gas safety inspections don’t just identify existing leaks – we also assess the condition of gas lines, connections, and appliances to predict potential failure points before they become dangerous. Each inspection includes detailed documentation of all findings, safety recommendations, and compliance with current gas safety standards. Whether you’re moving into a new property, experiencing gas odours, or conducting routine safety maintenance, our professional gas leak detection services provide the expertise and peace of mind essential for protecting your family and property from gas-related hazards.
