Biological, Organic Contamination and Odour Detection Testing
Description: Our biological and organic contamination testing service identifies biological residues and potential contamination within residential and commercial properties. Depending on the suspected contamination, samples are collected using surface swabs, targeted sampling methods, or other appropriate techniques and submitted to a suitable laboratory for analysis.
Value: Scientifically identifies residues that cannot be confirmed by visual inspection alone. Testing provides verified laboratory evidence to investigate contamination from bodily fluids, human and animal waste, drainage failures and bacterial activity, ensuring remedial cleaning and decontamination works are targeted effectively.

Testing categories can include:
- Human bodily fluids: Blood and suspected blood residues; urine and urine residues; semen and suspected semen residues; saliva and saliva residues; and other suspected bodily fluid contamination (subject to laboratory capability).
- Human waste and associated contamination: Faecal matter and suspected faecal residues; biological residues associated with human waste; and indicators of faecal contamination where suitable laboratory tests are available.
- Animal waste and biological residues: Animal faeces and droppings; urine residues from domestic animals; animal bodily fluid residues (subject to laboratory capability); and biological contamination associated with animal activity.
- Bacterial contamination: General bacterial contamination; selected bacterial indicators associated with faecal contamination; and specific bacterial organisms where targeted laboratory testing is available.
- Other biological and organic residues: Suspected biological deposits on floors, walls and other surfaces; organic residues associated with human or animal activity; and mixed biological contamination where the material cannot be readily identified visually.
This service can be beneficial when:
- A property has experienced sewage backups, soil pipe leaks, or escape of water.
- Unexplained foul or persistent organic odours remain present.
- Contamination from animal pests, droppings, or domestic pets is suspected in structural voids.
- Trauma, severe neglect, or tenancy turnover requires formal clearance and verification.
- Clear laboratory confirmation is required before and after decontamination or remedial works.

How are samples collected?
Depending on the suspected contamination, samples are collected using surface swabs, targeted sampling methods, or other appropriate techniques, and submitted to a suitable laboratory for analysis.
What can be tested for?
Human bodily fluids, human waste and associated contamination, animal waste and biological residues, bacterial contamination, and other biological and organic residues.
Why not simply inspect visually?
Testing scientifically identifies residues that cannot be confirmed by visual inspection alone, providing verified laboratory evidence to investigate contamination from bodily fluids, human and animal waste, drainage failures and bacterial activity.
Which test will be carried out?
The appropriate test will depend on the material suspected, the surface being tested and the level of identification required.
Do I pay for this twice if you carry out the repairs?
No. The survey fee is credited when repairs are completed by us.
