Mould surveys

An indoor air quality assessment was carried out at a new apartment block in Salisbury after a flood in the building earlier in the year. As a result of the sampling, it was found that four out of the nine apartments had significantly high levels of damp spores. As a result of the findings, Sysco Environmental were also able to carry out the damp remediation process which involved treating the effected flats with ozone.

The client asked us (Sysco Environmental) to undertake a mould and damp survey in the Cellar of the surgery, where there was a known problem. Upon carrying out the inspection it was made clear to why there was a significant amount of moisture and mould in the area. Air sampling also showed that there were high concentrations of spores in the air which needed to be controlled. To prevent the issue from spreading further and eliminate the existing issue, a number of recommendations were made.

Sysco Environmental Ltd carried out the property inspection and microbiological sampling at the BBC Television Centre. The reason for this investigation was to evaluate the levels of fungal elements in the indoor air and evaluate the risk to health to the property occupants. The survey identified any areas of concern and as part of the service the client was supplied with remediation actions to overcome this issue.

Sysco Environmental were asked by Dobcroft Junior School in Sheffield to carry out a full Indoor Air Quality Assessment and Mould Survey on a number of outdoor classrooms which were of a wooden structure. The assessment was to help understand if the air quality within the classrooms was acceptable for both the teachers and pupils who were regularly in them. As a result of the survey some rooms had no issues while others required remediation work to replace rotten structures such as flooring and walls. As well as some which needed replacing completely.

We have conducted and employee’s exposure assessment to fungal spores arising from handling mould contaminated books. We have also investigated the building in order to identify the root causes of the water damage and suggested and implemented remediation measures to mitigate the exposure of staff and damage to the books.

Integrated Dental Holdings requested Sysco Environmental to carry out a Mould Survey at their Dental Practice in Pudsey. The issue reported was located in the Cellar of the building. After further investigation it was discovered there was a significant damp issue throughout out the while room. The air quality in the cellar was sampled and as a result, suitable recommendations were put in place. The survey also meant that a further issue was identified in the room above the cellar, which the practice was not aware of.

As an urgent request, a survey was carried out by Sysco Environmental at the Dental Practice in Stockport. The known issue was present in the loft of the building, which was used as a store room. Significant issues were found in the loft with regards to high moisture content in the rooms. Issues were also found within the Cellar of the building, this was as a result of a leak located within the cellar. We worked with the client to help recommend remediation to resolve the mould and damp issues.

Carrie out a comprehensive building and staff exposure evaluation in a high street shop in London following frequent complaints from the staff. The management of the shop was able to take appropriate action to protect the health of the employees and to mitigate the water damage to the building.

We carried out an air quality investigation in an office following repeated complaints from the member of the staff. We were able to demonstrate the levels of various contaminants within the affected office and areas within the building which were deems and non problematic.
