Ceiling discolouration - Is it mould?

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.

Geopathic stress and a home that felt "not quite right"

Sally and her family lived in the home she had had built 16 years previously. Although they had been there all that time, there were certain  areas in the dwelling that simply did not feel right and rooms where people either did not sleep well or had experienced health problems. Whenever her infant grandaughter came to the home, she cried and would not settle down. Sally's friends did not like the "feel" of the building. In addition, there were parts of the garden where plants simply would not grow and other areas where plants grew, but were crooked.

After doing some research, Sally asked Building Wellness to identify and remedy any negative earth energies that were affecting the property. Prior to conducting the assessment, Building Wellness was not told of the family's experiences in the home.

VOC testing for indoor air quality

After having the inside of their home repainted, Mia and John were concerned that the chemicals responsible for the "paint smell" in the home may adversely affect their young children. The smell was particularly noticeable in the warmer weather. They therefore sent the children to live with their grandparents and asked Building Wellness to assess the indoor air quality of the home to determine whether or not VOC levels were safe for long term exposure.

Leach-free water bottles for individuals, families and corporate branding

It is generally recommended that we each drink 6-8 glasses of water per day.  As the use of reusable bottles is a convenient way of getting adequate water intake when you are away from home, have you thought about the water bottles used by you and your family? Some bottles have been found to leach chemicals into drinking water. While glass is possibly the best water bottle material, it is not always the most practical option. For those times when glass is not  appropriate, Building Wellnesss has safe drinking water bottles available from our online shop . Both stainless steel and plastic bottles are available in sizes to suit the whole family.You may also choose to have your company name and logo printed on the Aquifer or stainless steel bottles. Contact us for more information.
