Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We inspect around showers, vanities, bath panels, toilets, laundry troughs and kitchen sinks for visible growth, staining and musty odours. These areas often hide mould behind silicone lines, kickboards and splashbacks where small leaks or failed seals keep materials damp.
We use non-invasive moisture assessment methods to identify suspect dampness in plaster, skirtings and ceilings, focusing on external corners and below windows. Elevated moisture helps explain why mould is present and whether the problem is ongoing rather than historic.
Where the property has a subfloor space, we check for restricted vents, damp soil conditions, stored items blocking airflow and signs of fungal growth on timbers. In Noble Park, subfloor ventilation can be reduced by paving, garden beds and later extensions, increasing mould and decay risk.
We look for roof leaks, condensation signs and mould staining on rafters and insulation. Poorly vented roof spaces can develop mould after minor leaks or persistent condensation, especially where insulation is thick or downlights/ducts create air leaks.
We assess mould-prone areas around window frames, sills and curtains, and note condensation drivers such as blocked weep holes, poor seals and limited cross-ventilation. This is particularly relevant in bedrooms and living areas that stay closed up through winter.
Your report maps the affected areas, explains the most likely moisture source (leak, rising damp indicators, condensation or ventilation shortfall) and prioritises actions. We outline when a plumber, roofer, waterproofing specialist or mould remediation provider should be engaged.

In Noble Park, we often find mould around showers and vanities, inside bathroom and laundry cabinetry, and on ceilings where extraction fans are weak or vent to roof spaces. Bedrooms with limited airflow can also develop mould around window frames from winter condensation. Homes with enclosed or poorly ventilated subfloors may show fungal growth on timbers and a musty smell that transfers into the house.
We look at location, patterns and moisture indicators to determine the most likely cause. Localised staining near plumbing points, wet skirtings or swelling cabinetry often suggests a leak. Broader, fine spotting on cold external walls or around windows is commonly condensation-related, especially in winter. We document the evidence and recommend the next trade step if confirmation testing or leak detection is warranted.
A mould presence inspection focuses on identifying suspected or visible mould and the moisture conditions enabling it. If laboratory testing or air sampling is needed (for example, where growth isn’t visible but odours are strong), we can advise on suitable options and when it’s worthwhile. Many buyers prefer to first locate the moisture source and extent so any testing is targeted and cost-effective.
Yes. Renovations can improve finishes but still leave mould risks if waterproofing details, silicone joints, fall to waste, or exhaust ventilation are inadequate. We regularly see mould behind vanities, at shower screens, and at wall/floor junctions where water escapes but stays hidden. We also check whether fans are appropriately ducted and whether moisture is likely to be trapped behind tiled walls or in ceiling cavities.
Make sure we can access wet areas, wardrobes, and any subfloor or manhole entry where safe. If possible, clear items from under sinks and inside bathroom/laundry cabinets so we can inspect corners and backing boards. Avoid running strong fragrances or dehumidifiers right before the visit, as they can mask odours and moisture cues. If you’ve had past leaks, share dates and repair details.
