Laboratory-Grade Analysis for Biological Load
While a professional moisture assessment identifies why mould might grow, laboratory sampling identifies what is actually in the air you are breathing. We use the industry-leading Bio-Pump system to capture a precise volume of air, providing a scientifically defensible "snapshot" of the fungal ecology inside your home.
Best For: Measuring the total concentration of airborne mould spores and fragments.
How it works: Our calibrated Bio-Pump pulls air through a specialized collection cassette. This captures everything from common allergens to highly toxic "black mould" spores that are often too heavy to stay airborne for long.
Why you need it: This test confirms if an indoor mould source is actively "sporing" and contaminating your breathing zone. It allows us to compare your indoor air against outdoor "control" levels to verify if your home has an unhealthy fungal anomaly.
Best For: Identifying visible growth on walls, skirting boards, or inside cupboards.
How it works: A physical lift or swab is taken from a surface and examined under a microscope by a specialist mycologist.
Why you need it: This is the most accurate way to identify the specific genus of a visible mould colony. It helps determine the severity of the infestation and the specific safety protocols required for professional remediation.
In the Australian climate, mould is a natural part of the outdoor environment. Our professional sampling service provides the precision needed to tell the difference between "normal" levels and a "Building Biology Anomaly."
Quantifiable Results: You get an exact count of spores per cubic metre of air ($spores/m^3$).
Species Identification: We identify "indicator species"—moulds that only grow when there is a significant, hidden moisture problem.
SBM-2015 Compliance: Your results are interpreted using the Building Biology Evaluation Guidelines, ensuring the highest level of health precaution.
To ensure your report provides a complete picture, we recommend the following:
The basic (4 Samples): One Bio-Pump air sample in the primary living area, main bedroom, main bathroom, and one outdoor "control" sample.
The full home: One air sample per room, plus the outdoor control.
Surface Check (As needed): Add one surface swab for every area of visible growth you want specifically identified.
Professional collection and calibration using the Bio-Pump system.
Secure laboratory "Chain of Custody" handling.
Formal laboratory analysis from an accredited Australian mycology lab.
Expert interpretation of your results integrated into your final Mould Assessment report.
Note: These samples are professional add-ons for the Comprehensive Mould & Moisture Assessment. They require precise calibration and professional collection to ensure laboratory accuracy.
