Condensation and Mould Diagnostic System

Remember our Building Moisture Index Technology? Well…it’s been updated!! Not only has the technology been updated by name, but it’s also been updated with exciting new packaging and a NEW downloadable brochure!

The UPDATED Condensation and Mould Diagnostic System supports landlords, tenants, and householders to understand atmospheric moisture imbalance and the causes of mould and condensation within homes & buildings.

The result is a highly technical, impartial and scientific report, which is put right into the hands of landlords, tenants, householders, and surveyors!

What does the Condensation and Mould Diagnostic System do?

The system is a novel diagnostic method integrated into a computer program (or software) that processes and assesses environmental data and reports the factors causing moisture imbalance leading to the risk of condensation and mould in properties. This program, together with a unique protocol to install a number of data loggers/sensors which gather the data, completes the Condensation and Mould Diagnostic System.


How the technology helps you…

Recording and evaluating moisture issues with our system will help housing associations, landlords, householders, and tenants to easily understand and objectively quantify the severity of moisture imbalance and the causal factors leading to condensation and mould in properties.

This Condensation and Mould Diagnostic System will complement your building survey and will help to reduce disrepair claims. Our system also gives access to guides for the most effective repair solutions for condensation and mould, it will save you time and money avoiding the hassle of data processing, giving an objective interpretation, and reporting results whilst empowering you to improve living conditions and customer satisfaction.

The end result is a highly technical atmospheric and surface moisture evaluation report, put right into the hands of all surveyors inferring the indoor air living conditions of the occupants and the surface thermal characteristics of the problematic areas within buildings.

What the system gives you?

Using data loggers/sensors which measure the internal and external environmental conditions, temperature and relative humidity, the Condensation and Mould Diagnostic System will tell the user why the excess moisture issue has become a problem within a building/home that is understandable for all.

The system creates diagnostic reports by processing the environmental data gathered by the loggers. This technical report consists of several sections which include a description of the Condensation and Mould Diagnostic System method, photos and plans together with details and comments about the property (provided by the surveyor). A summary of results on the moisture diagnostic assessment includes the Condensation and Mould System scores indicating the severity of moisture imbalance and the causal factors leading to condensation and mould.

  • Informs landlords, tenants, and householders of the cause of mould
  • Directs you to cost-effective repair solutions
  • Resolves complaints and disrepairs claims
  • Improves living conditions and customer satisfaction

Delivering so much for very little cost!

You can purchase a Condensation and Mould Diagnostic System, the necessary basic set of data loggers, accessories, and instructions. This also includes the provision of a Condensation and Mould diagnostic report per property, online training, test, and certificate. After a minimum two-week monitoring period, you simply extract the data from the loggers and email it over to us. We then process it through the tool that generates your diagnostic report

**PCA MEMBERS ONLY** PCA members can also hire the equipment, or just use the reporting tool if they already own data loggers.
