Greater Sydney is currently under lockdown until Friday 30th July 2021. This restricts the services provided for Canberra, ACT and Regional NSW assessments.
Do you think your home is making you sick?
You’ve done all the diets and detox, but you still don’t feel better. You may have migraines or headaches. You’re constantly fatigued and lack energy. Or you catch a cold or flu every few weeks. These are all symptoms that have been associated with hazards in the home such as wireless devices, mobile phones, smart appliances, mould, VOC gases, water quality and indoor air quality.
You need a Building Biologist!
Save yourself hours or even years of research and trawling through support sites or facebook groups.
What is Building Biology?
“Building biology is the evaluation and control of health hazards in the built environment. This involves assessing the home or office for allergens, toxicants, electromagnetic fields and biotoxins unique to a water-damaged building and providing strategies to address exposure and/or source control and abatement”..

You may have a consumer meter, but are you using it correctly? Did you also know that most consumer meters over and under-estimate the actual readings. Therefore, they should only be used as INDICATOR meters to identify the presence of EMFs.
Did you know there are FOUR (4) types of EMFs? Are you aware of what EMF you are measuring with the METER?

We pride ourselves in identifying environmental hazards that can potentially cause us problems such as adverse health effects.
EMF Assessments
Its much more than just 5G towers and Wi-Fi routers! You would be surprised at how many things we find within the home that can be “broadcasting” all night long.
For the general public, a basic EMF assessment is suggested as it will cover 90% of your needs.
For people who are electrosensitive, electro-hypersensitive, chemically sensitive or even sensitive to mould, then a comprehensive EMF assessment is suggested.
It’s always best to do EMF and Mould/Moisture Assessments together.
Do an EMF Checklist and find out the most common sources!

Do you think you have mould/mold in your house? Do you have condensation issues in the home? Would you like to know how to treat mold in the house properly? If you wake up in the morning, do you see condensation on the windows, when you pull back the curtains? Do you have a lot of dust in the home? Dust contains a lot of pollutants such as dust mites, dust mite faeces, dead skin cells and mould/fungi spores and hyphae.

Some naturopaths, integrative GPs and functional medical practitioners may do the GPL Mycotoxin Test and in most cases, there are associations to a water damaged building, but in other cases, it may be related to food or work-related exposures.

Visual contrast sensitivity testing measures your ability to see details at low contrast levels and is often used as a nonspecific test of neurological function. Similar in form to a standard audiometry hearing test, a VCS test generally involves the presentation of a series of images of decreasing contrast to the test subject and the recording of the contrast levels where patterns, shapes, or objects can or cannot be identified. The results of the test can then be used as an aid in the diagnosis of visual system dysfunction.
VCS testing, by itself, is generally not diagnostic for any specific condition (including either mold or neurotoxin exposure), but a positive result may suggest the existence of a health and life-affecting clinical or subclinical process. If your results are positive, you could have a number of different conditions and should see your healthcare provider.
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Assessments
That new mattress smell may be toxic! The new paint smell could potentially contain formaldehyde! Are you sensitive to perfume and deodorant?
Did you know wood fire smoke can be hazardous?
Take the IAQ Quiz and find out some of the common issues.
Indoor Air Quality
Books, glue, resins, new furniture, newly painted rooms can all contribute to poor indoor air quality.
Wood fire heaters are one of the worst polluters in the home and can contribute to air particulates that can be inhaled.
If you get headaches from perfumes and new car smells, then contact us!
Get your home or office tested for volatile organic compounds (VOC), mould VOC or formaldehyde!
Top 5 Issues with homes
- No external extraction from exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens.
- Cooking smells linger in the home hours after cooking.
- The new paint, new furniture or mattress smells.
- The north/ north-west part of the home always smells.
- High levels of dust on surfaces around the home.
EMF Assessments
Do these Top 5 things first before contacting us.
Before going to bed/sleep:
- Unplug the Wi-Fi Router / NBN router.
- Put your phone into airplane mode
- Remove ALL electronic devices out of your room (that means charging your phone somewhere other than your bedroom).
- Make sure your bed is NOT against a wall with a smart meter, fridge or other white goods appliances.
- Remove your smart watch when you sleep

Mould/Moisture Assessments
Top 5 things often seen in homes with mould and moisture issues:
- Condensation issues in bathrooms and kitchens due to poor ventilation (i.e. no exhaust fans that ventilation externally).
- Poor drainage around the home, causing water to pool.
- Blocked gutters and not enough downpipes
- High levels of dust in the home. Dust is a food source for mould.
- Compromised water-proofing in bathrooms and balconies.
If you think you have a problem with any of these, then get an assessment done. There are toxic pathogenic fungi that can be potentially hazardous to your health and some can be fatal for those that are immunocompromised!
