Why it matters

## Mould is more than a cosmetic problem

Significant mould growth — especially black mould (Stachybotrys) and Cladosporium species — can cause respiratory illness, allergic reactions and long-term health effects, particularly in children, the elderly and people with compromised immune systems.

Older Queenslanders on stumps, post-war fibro homes and 1970s–80s brick veneer houses are frequently affected by subfloor mould due to inadequate ventilation — which can affect structural timbers without being visible from inside the home.

Who we help

## Homes and businesses across SEQ

### Older residential properties

Subfloor and wall-cavity mould in Queenslanders, fibro and brick-veneer homes — often affecting structural timbers unseen from inside.

### Flood & storm-affected homes

Rapid response to water ingress after severe weather, before mould has a chance to spread through the building fabric.

### Commercial & institutional

Offices, retail, schools, aged-care and hotels — remediated with minimal disruption, outside business hours where needed, with written clearance documentation.

Our process

## A six-step remediation

Mould cannot be permanently remediated without addressing the moisture source — which is why our process starts there.

- #### Testing & inspection

  A thorough inspection identifying all affected areas including hidden mould behind walls, under floors, in roof cavities and HVAC. Samples go to a NATA-accredited lab where species ID or spore counts are needed.

- #### Moisture source identification

  We identify and advise on the underlying cause — roof leak, rising damp, poor subfloor ventilation, plumbing leak or inadequate waterproofing — and coordinate rectification before remediation.

- #### Containment

  The affected area is contained to prevent cross-contamination — plastic sheeting barriers, negative-air HEPA machines and restricted access, scaled to the job.

- #### Removal & remediation

  Porous materials that cannot be adequately cleaned (plasterboard, insulation, soft furnishings, deeply penetrated timber) are removed as contaminated waste. Hard surfaces are treated with biocidal agents and HEPA-vacuumed.

- #### Drying & treatment

  Areas are dried to below 15% moisture content using commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, then inspected to confirm remediation is complete.

- #### Prevention & reinstatement

  Practical advice on preventing recurrence — ventilation, vapour barriers, drainage — plus coordination or carrying out of reinstatement.

Common questions

## Mould removal questions

Visible growth, musty odours, unexplained respiratory symptoms among occupants, and recent water damage are all indicators. The only way to confirm the extent and species is through a professional inspection and, where necessary, laboratory testing.

Small surface patches on hard, non-porous surfaces (less than about one square metre) can be cleaned with appropriate products. Anything beyond this — particularly on porous materials, in wall cavities, or where occupants have health concerns — should be handled by a professional.

It depends on the cause. Mould from a sudden and accidental water event (e.g. a burst pipe covered under home and contents) may be covered; mould from gradual leakage or maintenance neglect is typically excluded. We can provide documentation to support your claim.

Small areas may be remediated in a single day. Significant whole-home or commercial projects may take several days to a week, with drying monitored over a further few days before reinstatement.
