Most mould problems aren’t mould problems — they’re moisture problems. Find the moisture source, fix it, and the mould stops coming back. Treat the mould without finding the moisture and you’ll be remediating again in six months.

What we look for

  • Visible mould growth — extent, type (where identifiable visually), patterns
  • Moisture meter readings — walls, ceilings, floors, behind kickboards where reachable
  • Thermal imaging — temperature differentials that indicate damp behind surfaces
  • Source-tracing — is moisture from:
    • Roof leak / penetration
    • Plumbing leak
    • Condensation (poor ventilation, kitchen/bathroom exhaust)
    • Capillary action from subfloor
    • External water ingress (drainage, render cracks, window flashing)
    • Recent flood / storm event
    • Combination
  • Predisposing conditions — ventilation, insulation, occupant patterns

What we DON’T do

  • Mould remediation (different specialty — we refer to reputable AU remediators)
  • Air quality / spore testing (Industrial Hygienist territory — we refer when relevant)
  • Plumbing or roof repairs

We’re inspectors, not remediators. No upsell, no sales pipeline. The report points at what needs doing; you choose who to engage.

FAQ

Mould & Moisture Inspections — common questions

Why book an inspection instead of a remediation company directly? +
Remediation companies sell remediation. We sell inspection. If you call a remediation company first, the report they produce is usually pointing at the work they want to do. Our inspection identifies the root cause without an incentive to recommend more work than is needed.
What do you actually look at? +
Moisture meter readings across walls, ceilings, floors. Thermal imaging (where helpful). Source-tracing — is the moisture from a leak, condensation, capillary action from below, roof penetration, plumbing leak, or external water ingress. Plus visible mould growth patterns and conditions favourable to it.
Will you tell me what to do about it? +
Yes — the report includes recommended actions. Sometimes that's professional remediation. Sometimes it's a $200 fix to the gutter that's been dumping water against the wall. The recommendation matches the cause, not a sales pipeline.
Do you do air quality / spore testing? +
We do visible inspection and moisture mapping. Air spore testing is a separate specialty (Industrial Hygienists do it) — we refer when relevant. Most home mould issues are diagnosable from the moisture source without spore testing.
How urgent is mould? +
Visible mould inside a home should be addressed within weeks, not months. Health implications (especially for asthmatic / immunocompromised occupants) are real. Even without health concerns, mould eats timber and gyprock, so the longer it's there the more there is to remediate.
How much does it cost? +
Most inspections are $350-$550 depending on property size and complexity. Includes the report, photographs, moisture readings, and recommended action plan.
