Complete Home Audit
COMPLETE HOME AUDIT
On average we spend about 90% of our time indoors. If you are concerned that your home is making you sick or if you just want to create the healthiest home possible for your family then you will benefit from a COMPLETE HOME AUDIT.
People spend outrageous amounts of money “managing” chronic illnesses without ever thinking about what might be making them sick. Mould, dust mites, heavy metals, chemicals, particulates, VOC’s and electromagnetic fields may all be wreaking havoc with your health.
When you choose to have a COMPLETE HOME AUDIT A qualified Building Biologist will come out and assess your home room by room and educate you on the health hazards of the built environment.
The COMPLETE HOME AUDIT involves:
-
External audit of outdoor sources of pollution
- Prior to the audit your local area will be researched and any possible polluters in the area which may adversely affect your property will be discussed.
-
EMF Assessment
- A detailed audit of the sources and strength of EMF’s throughout the property with a focus on areas where people spend time. A qualified Building Biologist will use the latest digital equipment to measure the various sources of EMF's
-
Magnetic fields coming from power lines, household wiring and appliances.
-
Electric field testing will be conducted with a Body Voltage Kit.
-
Dirty electricity will be evaluated using a Stetzer meter.
-
Radiofrequency Radiation coming from all wireless devices and mobile phone towers in the area will be measured using a High Frequency Analyser.
