Dunbar Services

Mould Remediation

Microbial Testing

Dunbar Services can perform surface swab plus airborne sample tests, checking for mould, fungi & bacteria in:

• Building surfaces
• Air Conditioning systems
• Occupied spaces
• External locations

Dunbar’s calibrated air sampling unit draws a measured quantity of air across a sampling plate which is then analysed for microbial growth plus species identification. Testing is performed at the state’s leading NATA and AQIS certified, independent laboratory. Once identified the correct remediation process is detailed and actioned upon instruction.

Dunbar adopt and adhere to the WHO (World Health Organization) guideline for indoor air quality standards.

Mould Remediation

In humid environments there is often accumulated mould and fungal growth throughout the occupied areas. Dunbar will:

• Examines for the causes
• Develop a remediation strategy as well as make recommendations to prevent re-occurrence
• Eliminate the mould by decontaminating all surfaces affected
• On completion surface samples are taken for independent analysis to confirm effectiveness and bench mark the contamination levels for future reference

Mould remediation is performed to international (WHO, US EPA) and Australian (AIRAH) guidelines as detailed below. Information regarding mould remediation and health effects of mould in the indoor air environment can be found below:
