Microbiome identified the hidden moisture source behind our bathroom wall that two other contractors missed. The report was thorough, clear, and exactly what our insurer needed.
Professional, prompt, and completely independent. As a property manager, I need reports I can present to owners and strata committees with full confidence. Microbiome delivered exactly that.
We commissioned Microbiome following a roof leak at our school. Their post-remediation clearance gave parents and staff the confidence to return to the building safely.
Everything you need to know before booking your inspection.
Most residential inspections take 1.5 to 3 hours depending on property size and the extent of concerns. Commercial inspections vary based on building size and complexity. We provide an estimate during the initial consultation.
Not always. Environmental sampling is only recommended when it provides additional useful information beyond visual inspection and moisture assessment. We advise whether testing is warranted for your specific situation.
Your report includes inspection findings, photographs, moisture readings, thermal images (where applicable), affected areas, risk assessment, laboratory results (if samples were taken), moisture source identification, remediation recommendations, and preventative maintenance advice.
No — and this is an important distinction. Microbiome is an independent inspection and assessment consultancy only. We do not perform remediation. This means our recommendations are completely free from any commercial interest, ensuring you receive objective advice.
Reports without laboratory analysis are typically delivered within 2–3 business days. When laboratory analysis is required, turnaround depends on the laboratory's processing time, which we advise at the time of sampling.
