Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We assess bathrooms, laundries and kitchens for visible mould, failed silicone, grout breakdown and exhaust fan effectiveness. Poor extraction and short duct runs that vent into roof spaces can keep humidity high and allow mould to reappear quickly.
We check common condensation zones such as window frames, reveals, cold corners and behind curtains. In Flemington homes with older glazing or limited insulation, these areas can stay cool and wet enough to support repeated mould growth.
For houses with subfloors, we look for damp soil, poor underfloor airflow, plumbing drips and mould on bearers/joists. Ground moisture can migrate upwards, affecting floor coverings, skirtings and internal wall bases.
We look for staining, damp insulation, bathroom exhaust discharge issues and signs of minor roof leaks. Even small, ongoing moisture in roof spaces can lead to mould that impacts indoor air quality through ceiling gaps and manholes.
We check for mould-prone conditions around split systems, ducts, filters and condensate management where visible/accessible. Incorrect drainage or persistent condensation can seed mould that spreads to nearby walls and soft furnishings.
You receive a detailed report identifying affected areas, likely moisture drivers and recommended next steps. We separate immediate containment/clean-up needs from the building fixes that stop mould returning, such as ventilation upgrades and moisture entry repairs.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
They can be, particularly where insulation is limited, rooms are shaded, and airflow is restricted by renovations or closed-off fireplaces. Older window systems and cold external walls can drive condensation, which feeds mould around frames, corners and wardrobes. Our inspection focuses on these typical risk points, and also checks for damp subfloors and minor leaks that commonly sit unnoticed for long periods.
Yes. We look for the moisture driver behind the growth, such as condensation from poor ventilation, plumbing leaks, roof leaks, rising damp influences, or humidity trapped by tight building envelopes. The report explains the likely source and contributing factors, then outlines practical steps to address the cause. That way you’re not stuck repeatedly cleaning without stopping the conditions that allow mould to return.
We focus on concealed or low-airflow spaces where mould can thrive: wardrobes on external walls, behind beds and large furniture, laundry cupboards, window reveals, wall bases, and any accessible subfloor or roof space. We also look for moisture indicators such as staining, swelling, deteriorated sealants and condensation patterns. Musty odours often point to a persistent moisture source even when surfaces look clean.
They can. Modern apartments often have tighter seals that reduce natural airflow, which can increase condensation if exhaust fans are weak, ducts are poorly routed, or occupants keep windows closed due to noise or dust. Mould commonly shows up in bathrooms, along window tracks, and in bedrooms with limited cross-ventilation. We check ventilation, moisture-prone junctions and any signs of water ingress around balconies and external doors.
If possible, provide access to wet areas, wardrobes, the manhole for the roof space, and any subfloor entry points. Avoid running exhaust fans for long periods immediately beforehand so humidity clues aren’t masked. Let us know about any recent leaks, flooding, or repainting, as fresh paint can temporarily hide staining. Clear a little space around walls where mould is suspected so we can inspect properly.
