Who and how we assist
 

Provide you with evidence, where supported,  that mould and condensation or water related damage is the result of building design or construction defect.

Present builders and insurers with, where possible, irrefutable evidence of building defect usually blamed upon life style issues.

Provide substantiated evidence of condensation and mould causation.

Tens of thousands of homes are affected by water damage every year in the UK and our audits over 10 years have proven without doubt that the vast majority of properties are not dried or decontaminated to any recognisable standard. We can assess damage restoration and decontamination failures up to 10 years old where health issues have become an issue. A biotoxin or mould related health issue may be  where no medical records existed prior to the flood or water damage event and successful claim may revolve around proving the presence of possible causation by sampling and investigation.

Claims against their workmanship can be costly as well as time consuming. Our non invasive investigation techniques can often remove the threat of litigation by identifying problems often with economic solutions .

We simply support solicitors with  technical guidance and supportive evidence in material damage and support your medical team with sampling and analysis for  health claims related to mould, biotoxins and water damaged buildings generally.

Detailed analysis of air and surface contamination within a property provide a basis for comparison of biological investigation of their patient. We also provide links to world renowned experts in relative fields to provide third party expert support or appraisal.  

The insurance industry is often left to pay out for the failures of architects, builders and surveyors and of course contractors, which result in mould and related health claims. So often, we find builders camouflaging construction defect until such time as the insurer takes over the policy coverage. Our novel investigation techniques simply uncover the true cause and liability issues and can result in claims being referred back to the builder or contractor for subrogation issues. These subrogation issues can  include construction and flood restoration companies.
