Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect shower recess corners, grout lines, silicone joins, vanity kickboards, and toilet bases for mould growth and moisture staining. These spots often look cosmetic but can indicate chronic leaks or failed waterproofing that keeps materials damp.
We check cupboards and plumbing penetrations for slow leaks, swelling to particleboard, musty odours, and mould on backing panels. These hidden areas can stay wet for months without obvious surface mould until cupboards start to deform.
We examine window reveals, sills, curtains/blinds contact points, and nearby plaster for mould and condensation marks. Condensation around older glazing and worn seals can feed mould in bedrooms and living areas during Burwood East’s colder months.
We look for staining, bubbling paint, damp patches, and mould spotting around cornices, downlights, and manhole areas. Small roof leaks can show up as seasonal mould blooms, especially after wind-driven rain.
We check built-in robes, behind furniture-prone walls, skirting boards, and carpet edges for mould and moisture patterns. Low airflow spaces often show early mould signs first, even when the rest of the room looks fine.
We assess wet-area extraction coverage, signs of inadequate airflow, and common occupancy triggers (drying clothes indoors, unflued heating impacts, blocked vents). You’ll get practical recommendations tailored to the property layout to reduce humidity and recurrence.

It can be either, and often it’s a mix. In Burwood East, we regularly see winter condensation in bedrooms and living areas when windows stay closed and heaters run, while bathrooms and laundries can develop mould from poor extraction or worn waterproofing. The inspection focuses on locating the moisture source so you’re not stuck repeatedly cleaning the same spots.
We check typical mould hotspots such as bathrooms, ensuites, laundries, kitchens, under sinks, around windows, ceiling corners, wardrobes, and behind obvious moisture-prone fixtures. We also look for staining, musty odours, bubbling paint, and other clues that moisture is present even if mould isn’t obvious. The aim is to identify where mould is active and why it’s forming.
Yes—recurrence is usually driven by ongoing moisture. If we find signs of condensation patterns, poor ventilation, slow plumbing leaks, or water entry points, we’ll explain what needs to change for cleaning to last. If mould is only superficial with no dampness indicators, the recommendations will focus on safer cleaning and improving airflow to prevent regrowth.
Often, yes. Older Burwood East homes can have original bathrooms, ageing grout and silicone, or older exhaust fans that don’t clear steam well. Bedrooms with older windows can also show condensation mould on sills and reveals. During the inspection we pay close attention to wet areas, window surrounds, and low-ventilation spaces like built-in robes, where mould can develop before it’s visible elsewhere.
It’s a smart step, especially where ventilation is limited, rooms share walls, or bathrooms sit away from external windows. Townhouses and units can be more airtight, so humidity builds quickly without effective extraction. We’ll check internal wet areas, window condensation points, and any signs of past water ingress so you can budget for improvements or request repairs before settlement.
