Can I speak with the Building Biologist after assessment?

We are very willing to explain specific details and help you understand what you and the property require to undertake.

MOULD

How do I know if I have mould in my home or office?

Few places on Earth are completely free of mould – it only needs moisture, oxygen and food to grow. Mould loves water damaged material such as timber, paper, clothes, furnishings. There are thousands of species of mould and it can present in a multitude of colours and shapes, or even be invisible. Sometimes you can smell a musty odour, and sometimes you can’t. Our Building Biologist can determine the existence of mould with specialised equipment and meters. Call us now.

Does Mitey Fresh clean or get rid of mould?

We don’t physically clean or get rid of mould. Regardless of the amount of visible mould growth or water damage, we locate and assess the associated invisible mould contamination. We find the trigger in your home or office and provide you with recommendations on how to manage the cause. Based on the results, we help you prevent mould from coming back ever again.

Is the mould in my home making me and my family sick?

Are you experiencing persistent coughing, headaches, muscle aches or difficulty concentrating? You don’t have to see or smell mould for it be a problem. Live and dead mould can be toxic to your health and cause allergic or inflammatory reactions. Even if you’ve recently cleared your home of mould, it’s better to be on the safe side. Get started now.

  • 4. What is the extent of each occupant’s health? (eg flu like symptoms, headache, generally unwell, etc)
