Air Testing

As part of thermographic surveys we can also use an air Pressure testing kit to depressurise the building and help detect any air leakage within the property

How loud is too loud?

Continued exposure to noise above 85 dBA (adjusted decibels) over time will cause hearing loss. The volume (dBA) and the length of exposure to the sound will tell you how harmful the noise is.

In general, the louder the noise, the less time required before hearing loss will occur.
