Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect bathrooms, ensuites, laundries and kitchens for visible growth, staining and musty odours, then link findings to common moisture sources such as failed shower recess seals, leaking tapware, and poor exhaust performance.
We assess signs of ongoing condensation (window frames, ceiling corners, behind curtains) and check whether ventilation is suitable for the room size and layout, helping identify mould driven by humidity rather than a plumbing leak.
We use moisture detection to pinpoint damp zones in plasterboard, skirtings, window reveals and ceilings. This helps separate isolated surface mould from areas likely affected by active water ingress or trapped moisture.
Where access allows, we check for wet soil, inadequate clearance, blocked vents, and fungal growth on timber under the floor. Subfloor humidity can feed mould odours inside the home and damage structural timbers over time.
We look at gutters, downpipes, splashback at walls, paving levels, garden beds and drainage fall. These items often contribute to damp wall bases and skirting mould, particularly on shaded sides of Mooroolbark Station Estate homes.
Your report documents the locations and severity of mould indicators, the most likely moisture drivers, and sensible rectification pathways (ventilation improvements, leak checks, drainage changes, targeted remediation) so you can act decisively.

Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about our inspection service.
We regularly find early indicators in bathrooms and laundries (around ceilings, exhaust fan areas and shower junctions), and in bedrooms where wardrobes sit against cooler external walls. Window reveals, skirting lines on shaded elevations, and cupboards with limited airflow are also common. If there’s a subfloor, dampness under the home can contribute to persistent musty odours inside.
It depends on the pattern. Condensation-related mould often appears in corners, behind furniture, on window frames, and in rooms with poor ventilation, especially after cold nights. Leak-related mould tends to be localised and can show moisture patterns near showers, plumbing points, roofs, or gutters. Our inspection combines visual checks with moisture detection to help distinguish the most likely driver.
A mould presence inspection focuses on identifying indicators of mould and the moisture conditions that support it. If sampling is needed, we can discuss options based on what we find and why you need the information (for example, medical concerns, rental disputes, or remediation verification). In many homes, locating the moisture source and affected areas is the most useful first step.
Look for musty smells on entry, peeling paint near windows, swollen skirtings, and fresh repainting in bathrooms or along the lower wall lines. Check if gardens or paving sit high against external walls and whether downpipes discharge near the house. Also note bedrooms with large wardrobes on outside walls, as poor airflow there can hide mould even when the room looks clean.
Cleaning removes visible growth, but mould often returns if moisture and airflow aren’t addressed. Improve extraction in bathrooms and laundries, use ventilation during and after cooking and showering, and avoid pushing furniture hard against external walls. Fix leaks promptly and ensure drainage moves water away from the home. If subfloor dampness is contributing, improving ventilation and ground moisture control can make a big difference.
