Mould Inspections and Assessments

Mould Inspections

A mould inspection is required to identify where the mould issue is in the home or building, and find all the contributing factors that are causing the mould contamination. This is the most important first step to avoid further risk of exposure to occupants. Our inspection process starts with an interview with the occupants to determine if they are at risk of mould related illness or respiratory illness.

Finding the cause of the moisture problems can be difficult, as mould can grow inside your wall cavities, under your carpet lining, inside the ceiling, under your house, in your air conditioner, as well as many other hard to reach locations. It is very important that the source of the water or moisture is found and fixed before the mould becomes a potentially deadly problem and to make sure that a proper treatment plan is made.

Finding Mould

If you find mould indoors it should be assessed by an experienced mould professional who is highly skilled at mould investigations. If any contributing factors are overlooked due to inexperience the mould will continue to return. Moisture Cure takes an expert approach to mould investigations, a detailed understanding of the home or building provides us with the basis of our investigation. Our decades of experience are vital in this process.

Visible mould on the walls, in your air conditioner, around the base of skirting boards, on the ceiling, around wallpaper and any other surfaces and in the subfloor are given special attention during the mould inspection. Our expert inspection team use non-destructive devices such as moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, hygrometers, wall cavity inspection cameras and dust particulate counters to detect hidden moisture, isolate the areas of potential mould growth and determine the cause of the mould. In more extreme situations an invasive inspections may be required.
