Our comprehensive service includes everything you need to make an informed decision about your property.
We check common mould trigger points in Park Orchards homes—external wall junctions, window reveals, built-in robes, behind beds and lounges, and cool corners—looking for staining, swelling, peeling paint and musty odours that indicate chronic moisture.
Bathrooms, ensuites and laundries are assessed for grout cracking, deteriorated silicone, shower recess edges, vanity kickboards and skirting lines. These signs can point to moisture getting behind linings, where mould can thrive out of sight.
For homes with raised floors, we inspect accessible subfloor areas for damp soil, poor drainage, fungal growth on timbers, plumbing drips and blocked vents. In leafy blocks, vents can be obstructed by landscaping or debris, reducing airflow and increasing mould risk.
Where access allows, we look for roof-space humidity signs such as damp insulation, mould on framing, bathroom exhausts venting into the roof, and staining around penetrations. These issues can spread mould spores and create persistent odours.
We assess ventilation in kitchens, bathrooms and laundries, and look for condensation drivers such as closed-up rooms, limited extraction, and cool surfaces around windows. Condensation-related mould often appears in winter and can be misread as a simple ‘cleaning’ issue.
Your report records affected areas, likely moisture sources and contributing conditions, with clear recommendations such as improving extraction, addressing leaks, increasing subfloor airflow, and when to engage a qualified mould remediation provider for safe removal.

Leafy surrounds and shaded sections can slow drying after rain and keep parts of the home cooler, which increases condensation and dampness. In Park Orchards, mould often shows up in wardrobes on external walls, behind furniture, and in underfloor areas where airflow is limited. A mould presence inspection helps identify both the visible growth and the conditions driving it, so rectification is focused and effective.
We look at location patterns and moisture indicators. Condensation mould is commonly found on cooler surfaces like window reveals, corners and external walls, often worsening in winter. Leak-related mould tends to be localised around plumbing, showers, roofs or wet-area junctions and may be linked with staining, bubbling paint or swollen skirtings. Our report explains the likely driver and what to do next.
A mould presence inspection focuses on identifying mould growth, moisture sources and contributing building conditions. If lab testing is needed—for example, where occupants have health concerns or the source is unclear—we can advise on sampling options and the best next steps. In many property situations, finding and fixing the moisture cause is the priority, alongside safe remediation of affected materials.
Older homes may have bathrooms with ageing waterproofing, limited exhaust fans, and window systems prone to condensation. We frequently find issues in shower recess edges, around vanities, behind laundry cabinetry, and in built-in robes against external walls. Raised-floor homes can also develop subfloor dampness if vents are blocked by landscaping or if drainage around the perimeter is poor.
First, address the moisture driver—repair leaks, improve extraction, and increase airflow where needed (including subfloor ventilation if applicable). Then arrange appropriate cleaning or professional remediation depending on the extent and the materials affected. Avoid simply painting over mould, as it often returns quickly. Our report outlines priority actions so you can plan works in the right order and budget accurately.
