Cleaning mould without finding the moisture that fed it guarantees its return. A mould inspection is a moisture investigation that happens to start at the visible growth.

The usual sources in a Tarneit home are condensation in a well-sealed new build with insufficient ventilation, a plumbing or roof leak, or ground moisture entering through the subfloor or slab edge.

What the inspection covers

  • Visual assessment of the affected areas and their extent
  • Moisture meter readings across affected and adjacent surfaces
  • Thermal imaging to trace moisture behind finished surfaces
  • Assessment of ventilation, exhaust discharge and subfloor conditions
  • An opinion on the source, and what to fix so it does not return

Why this matters in Tarneit

New homes in the growth corridor are built far tighter than older housing stock, which is good for energy efficiency and bad for moisture if exhaust fans discharge into the roof space rather than outside. That single detail causes a surprising share of the ceiling mould we are called to.

FAQs

Mould Inspections — common questions

Do you do air sampling or lab testing?

Our inspection is a building moisture investigation. Where laboratory analysis is warranted we will say so, because that is a different specialty.

Can I just clean it off?

You can, and it will come back unless the moisture source is dealt with. That source is what the inspection is for.

Is mould a builder warranty issue?

It can be, where it results from defective work such as a failed waterproofing membrane or an exhaust discharging into the roof space. The report addresses cause, which is what a claim turns on.
