Mould and Moisture Assessment

Mould and Moisture Assessment

If you are concerned about mould or moisture in your home, I can help.

A Mould and Moisture Assessment involves the following steps:

1. Pre-assessment

   • I will send you a questionnaire about your home and occupants for completion at least 48 hours before the inspection.

   • I will also research the surrounding area prior to the visit.

2. Initial consultation

   • On arrival, I will spend approximately 30 minutes reviewing the completed questionnaire with you.

3. Onsite assessment (3–5 hours)

   • Internal and external visual inspection using moisture meters, an infrared camera, and a hygrometer.

   • Moisture mapping of building materials to help determine sources of problematic moisture.

   • Identification of ventilation issues.

   • Collection of samples for laboratory testing, where required, to assess mould load/burden and identify species present.

     • Lab testing costs $121.00 (including GST) per sample. An average home typically requires 7–12 samples.

4. Costs

   • Pricing for assessments varies depending on the size of the home. To obtain a quote, please contact me at info@optimalliving.net.au.

   • A travel fee may apply depending on your location.

   • A $220.00 deposit is required to confirm your booking.

   • Full payment must be received before any samples are sent for laboratory analysis.

5. Reporting and follow-up

   • Once lab results are available, I will call you to discuss the findings.

   • I will then prepare a Preliminary Report with my findings and recommendations.

     • Note: This is a preliminary report. If you require a more detailed report for legal or insurance purposes, please let me know and I can provide a separate quote.

   • After you receive the Preliminary Report, I will arrange a follow-up phone call to answer any further questions.
