Gary's premises was 18 years old. For as he could remember, there had been an unpleasant musty odour in one room. His inspections, as well as those by several builders, had not found either any visible mould growth or signs of moisture incursion. As he was considering renovating the building, he wanted to determine whether or not mould proliferation was present so that, if necessary, he could replace the affected materials as part of the renovation process. Building Wellness was therefore asked to conduct air and surface mould sampling throughout the building.

Diane and Bill were interested in purchasing a new warehouse for their business. However, an electrical substation was located on one side of the building and a bank of mobile phone masts was located on a pole at the rear of the building. Building Wellness was therefore asked to assess the premises for magnetic field and radio frequency exposure.

Six months after moving into their new home, Tara and Rob noticed dark patches appearing on the ceilings of those rooms that had been heated during the recent winter. The staining was particularly noticeable around the downlights. While there was no odour in the home, they were concerned that the discolouration may have been due to mould growth. As they had received one professional opinion that the staining was due to mould and another stating that it was due to thermal tracking, Building Wellness was asked to conduct surface mould sampling to determine whether or not mould proliferation was present in the discoloured areas.
