Why should you have your home assessed? Regardless of whether you’re about to purchase or rent a new property in Sydney or whether you’ve been living in your Sydney home for years, you may want a home assessment if
you or your loved ones have fallen sick, are pregnant or you have a baby in the house. Our assessment covers:
Before visiting your home: a fact-finding call leading to the completion of a questionnaire.
A brief investigation of the local environment and the identification of external sources of air pollution or land contamination.
An examination of the impact of mould on your home including the identification of sources of excess moisture.
A review and measurement of external and internal sources of electromagnetic fields that can impact occupants.
A review of drinking water sources and an assessment of its potential impact on your health.
An assessment of the allergen load in your environment.
A review of chemicals and material used, including building material and personal care/cleaning products.
An assessment of the impact of mould and moisture, the electrical environment, indoor allergens as well as chemical exposure.
An onsite inspection and testing of your home and its environment, followed by a discussion of what has been discovered up to that point.
The sampling of dust, mould and air, if required.
A written report on the results of the assessment, which identifies health hazards and how these can be reduced.
