Mould Presence Inspection in Kew East

In Kew East, we commonly see mould in bathrooms and laundries with poor exhaust, on bedroom external corners during colder months, and inside built-in wardrobes where airflow is limited. In older raised-floor houses, underfloor dampness can also contribute to musty odours and mould at skirtings. We inspect both visible surfaces and moisture-prone zones to find what’s driving the growth.

Yes. Mould can grow behind furniture, inside wardrobes, under vanities, behind shower linings, and in ceiling or subfloor spaces without obvious odour. Some homes also get small, recurring patches that are cleaned off but keep returning because moisture remains. Our inspection focuses on moisture patterns and building “hot spots” so you can address the cause, not just the symptom.

A mould presence inspection is primarily a visual and moisture-based assessment to identify where mould is present and why conditions allow it to grow. If sampling or laboratory identification is needed for a specific scenario, we can discuss that based on what we observe onsite. For most property decisions, locating affected areas and confirming moisture sources is the priority.

They can be. Many Kew East homes have updated bathrooms, added rooms, or improved insulation and glazing. If ventilation wasn’t upgraded at the same time, the home can become more airtight and trap humidity, leading to condensation mould on cold surfaces and inside storage. We pay close attention to exhaust fan performance, airflow pathways, and moisture at junctions between old and new construction.

Start by controlling the moisture source: repair leaks, improve bathroom and laundry extraction, and address subfloor ventilation or drainage where relevant. Then organise appropriate cleaning or remediation based on the extent and the surface involved. We’ll highlight priority areas and practical next steps in the report so you can sequence repairs properly and reduce the likelihood of mould returning.
