Results - Fungal Risk - Building Cavity - Condensation

Single Time Inspection

§ Window Frame information only valid if the frame is set into a wall cavity in an external wall, and the frame temperature (not glass) is measured. The condensation tested for is on the frame inside the cavity, being condensation coming from outside, and present in the wall cavity.

Fungal risk outputs are subjective, for two reasons: a) the location of insulation materials are unknown/undeclared, and b) the presence or absence of a moisture barrier is unknown/undeclared. The risk value in column 2 simply gives the likelihood that condensation can occur either on a surface (building material or moisture barrier) or equally within an insulation layer. It does not indicate that fungus is necessarily inside the cavity, either in the present or the future, but it may indicate that the outcome of this cavity-analysis warrants further investigation, or warrants inspection of build records.

#Floor cavity excludes Slab-on-Grade.

^ Signifies Potential Fungal Risk in the cavity due to the possibility of external air leaking into the cavity. This is a putative risk only. Air leakage has not been tested for this report, rather the column signifies that air which may carry humidity has the potential to transport that humidity into a cavity. Such potential risk is affected by the temperature differential between outside and inside. If the risk seems to be of concern, refer to building records for clarification of the respective airtightness of the internal and external walls of this cavity, or alternatively get the airtightness tested.

The above tables contain analyses of a Single Time Inspection only. If a Condensation Only report from IAQ Analytics was obtained at a property which is to be assessed a second time (for Condensation Only), then a second report submission must be initiated.
