If you are having indoor air quality or mold problems We are the experts at finding the right solution.

Are You Having Odour Or Indoor Air Quality Problems?

Odours are the human body’s reaction to a particular chemical or chemical mixtures. These odorous chemicals come from mould, bacteria, sewer gases, decomposing rodents or their wastes, combustion gas fumes (car or furnace), and pets (to name a few of the common odour sources). These certainly affect indoor environmental quality problems in buildings. Odours are organic or inorganic compounds and can be both pleasant and unpleasant.

Some chemicals (at low concentrations) can be health hazards before they are detected by the nose, while others even at relatively high concentration are irritating, but not a health hazard for most people (people with environmental or chemical sensitivities may have health effects at very low concentrations of many chemicals).

While most chemical contaminants originate from within the building, chemicals can be drawn into a building from the outdoors as well.

We will work to identify what these chemicals are, whether they are a health hazard or not in your circumstances, where they come from, and most importantly, what can be done to eliminate this problem.

Are You Having Mould/Mold Problems?

Mould (mold in US) is a type of fungus that is also commonly called mildew. Mould grows from microscopic spores into visible mould colonies in as little as 48 hours.

To grow, mould requires 4 things: moisture (also high air relative humidity), a food source, oxygen and heat (0 degrees Celsius or above is sufficient). These factors are present in the indoor environment but the only one that we can control enough to prevent mould growth is to control moisture and humidity.

Mould releases spores in order to spread but the spores that are released, regardless of the number, that land on a surface will not develop into mould unless there is sufficient moisture or high humidity present.

While indoors, breathing in large amounts of these spores and the by-products they produce can negatively impact your health. For this reason, mould should not be tolerated indoors.

We can help by identifying hidden mould, the seriousness of mould that is present, the causes of the mould growth and how to prevent mould from coming back.
