Mould Inspection & Air Sampling Melbourne
Independent, objective & focused on finding the cause
Mould is rarely the problem itself. It is usually a symptom of an underlying moisture issue.
Whether the cause is a plumbing leak, roof leak, poor drainage, condensation, ventilation issues or building defects, identifying and correcting the source of moisture is essential to preventing mould from returning.
Our role is not simply to identify mould. It is to investigate the building, understand why moisture is present, and provide independent advice that helps you resolve the problem correctly.
- Because we do not undertake mould remediation, our recommendations remain completely objective — focused solely on your best interests.
3–4 hrs
A thorough inspection of most properties — not a 20-minute look-around.
More than just a mould inspection
Every property presents its own unique conditions. Rather than carrying out a simple visual inspection, we undertake a comprehensive, evidence-based investigation of the building to identify moisture sources, assess the indoor environment and determine the underlying factors contributing to mould growth.
- Comprehensive mould & moisture investigations
- Moisture source investigations
- Air quality investigations
- Indoor environmental assessments
- Moisture intrusion investigations
- Building moisture mapping
- Hidden moisture investigations
- Thermal imaging assessments
- Condensation investigations
- Ventilation assessments
- Post remediation verification
- Water intrusion & damage assessments
- Building defect assessments
- Laboratory air sampling
- Laboratory surface sampling
- Detailed photographic documentation
- Comprehensive written reporting
A systematic, five-step investigation
01
Consultation
We discuss your concerns, including visible mould, musty odours, previous water damage, condensation issues, occupant health concerns, building history and any renovations to tailor the investigation to your property.
02
Building Assessment
We undertake a systematic assessment of the property using a detailed visual inspection, professional moisture detection equipment, moisture mapping and thermal imaging to identify moisture sources, hidden moisture and building conditions that may be contributing to mould growth.
03
Moisture & Environmental
We assess the indoor environment by measuring temperature, relative humidity, dew point and other environmental conditions, comparing indoor readings with outdoor reference conditions to identify issues such as condensation, inadequate ventilation and elevated indoor moisture.
04
Laboratory Testing
Where it will assist the investigation, laboratory air, surface and cavity samples may be collected and analysed by an independent NATA-accredited laboratory. Sampling is recommended only where it provides meaningful information to support an evidence-based assessment.
05
Comprehensive Report
You receive a comprehensive written report including inspection findings, moisture mapping results, thermal images, environmental data, photographs, laboratory results (where applicable), likely moisture sources and practical, independent recommendations for further investigation or rectification by the appropriate qualified trades where required.
Independent inspections for every situation
01
Independent Mould Inspections
Comprehensive mould and moisture investigations identifying visible mould, moisture sources, indoor environmental conditions and contributing building defects.
02
Moisture Intrusion Investigations
We trace the source of moisture, including plumbing leaks, roof leaks, drainage issues, rising damp, condensation and water ingress.
03
Moisture Mapping
Professional moisture detection equipment is used to map moisture within walls, ceilings and floors, helping identify hidden moisture not visible during a visual inspection.
04
Thermal Imaging
Thermal imaging helps identify temperature variations that may indicate concealed moisture, insulation deficiencies or building defects. All findings are verified using moisture measurements and visual assessments
05
Indoor Air Quality Assessments
Assess indoor air quality and compare airborne fungal ecology with outdoor reference conditions, with laboratory air sampling performed where appropriate.
06
Laboratory Air, Surface & Cavity Sampling
Laboratory air, surface and cavity samples are collected where appropriate and analysed by an independent NATA-accredited laboratory to support the investigation.
07
Water Damage Investigations
We investigate building damage caused by leaks, flooding, storms and other water intrusion events to identify moisture sources and contributing building conditions.
08
Condensation & Ventilation Assessments
Assess ventilation performance and indoor environmental conditions to identify the underlying causes of condensation, excess humidity and recurring moisture problems.
09
Pre-Purchase Mould & Moisture Inspections
Identify concealed mould risks, moisture intrusion and building conditions that may contribute to future problems before committing to a property purchase.
09
Post-Remediation Verification
Independent verification that mould remediation has been completed satisfactorily through visual assessment, moisture investigation and, where appropriate, laboratory testing, ensuring the remediation objectives have been achieved.
Independent advice you can trust
Unlike remediation companies, we don’t profit from finding mould or recommending unnecessary work. Our role is to provide independent, evidence-based investigations that identify the underlying cause of moisture and mould issues, helping you make informed decisions about your property.
- Independent and unbiased investigations
- Comprehensive mould & moisture investigations
- Independent NATA-accredited laboratory testing (where appropriate)
- Property-specific recommendations
- No mould remediation or conflict of interest
- Professional thermal imaging & moisture mapping
- Detailed photographic reporting
- Focused on identifying the cause, not just the symptoms
NO REMEDIATION. NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
Because we don’t undertake mould remediation, our recommendations remain independent, objective and focused solely on your best interests.

Answers to common questions
What causes mould?
Mould requires moisture to grow. Common causes include plumbing leaks, roof leaks, poor drainage, condensation, inadequate ventilation, flooding and other water intrusion. Identifying the moisture source is essential to preventing mould from returning.
Do I always need mould testing?
No. Laboratory testing is not required for every inspection. It is recommended where mould is not readily visible, hidden contamination is suspected, indoor air quality requires further assessment, or laboratory confirmation will assist decision making.
Can you identify where the moisture is coming from?
Yes. One of the primary objectives of our inspections is identifying the source of moisture contributing to mould growth.
Do you remove mould?
No. We specialise in independent inspections and investigations only. This ensures our findings remain objective and free from conflicts of interest.
How long does an inspection take?
Most inspections take between three and four hours depending on the size, complexity and condition of the property, along with any additional testing required.
Will I receive a report?
Yes. Every inspection includes a comprehensive written report outlining our findings, observations, environmental measurements, photographs and practical recommendations.
