EMPLOYING A PROFESSIONAL MOULD REMOVAL NORTHERN RIVERS COMPANY CAN AVOID SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
It is not advisable to attempt to remove mould yourself with store-bought cleaners or home remedies. These can work well for removing a small amount of mould and can also keep mould from growing in the first place. However, if you have a serious case of visible mould, it is highly likely that you also have a serious case of hidden mould. If not remedied quickly by a professional mould removal Northern Rivers expert, it can have terrible impacts on the health of you and your family.
Not only does it look terrible, but if left to sit for a period it can create an extremely dangerous environment. Mould emits toxins into the air which can cause a range of health issues. For this reason, in serious cases, our team will wear hazmat suits.
A professional mould removal Northern Rivers company can ‘see’ hidden mould using the latest technology and digital readers. Just a quick phone call can save you and your family from being subjected to airborne mould spores settling in your lungs.
It is a common belief that mould will only grow in bathrooms. Whilst that is partly true, mould is a fungus that can grow in all areas of your house. Often appearing as dark marks, it can be easily mistaken for dirt or general grime.
The mould consists of airborne spores which go straight to the lungs when inhaled via normal breathing. If you’re susceptible, the spores can remain there while continually multiplying, leading to potentially devastating health problems.
Mould is a serious health hazard, and it is not something to ignore. Simply spraying with a store-bought ‘mould away’ product and hoping for the best is not a fail-safe approach. If you’re looking for mould removal in Northern Rivers, you’ve come to the right place. Our mould removal Northern Rivers specialists can remove and remediate mould growth in homes, buildings, offices, and other commercial spaces.

Where can mould grow?
Mould grows in areas that are dark, warm, damp and lacking proper ventilation. Moisture rich rooms such as kitchens, laundries, and bathrooms are generally the most prone to mould growth. Other common places include floors, walls, appliances, and carpets.
Often, mould grows in more difficult to reach places, such as inside walls and behind large pieces of furniture. For this reason, it’s important that your home is thoroughly inspected before considering improvements, renovations, or construction of any kind. All wood materials must be provided with time to dry out before covering over them.
If you believe you have areas of your home or office that could be affected by mould, contact our helpful team. We can come to your residential or commercial property, conduct a full inspection, and offer mould prevention solutions to suit your unique space.
How can I prevent mould growth?
When first developing, mould can take several days to appear on surfaces. Often, the damage is being done before you have any visible signs of it. Therefore, preventative treatments following deep cleaning and sanitising is critical.
Mould needs three things to grow: moisture, food (organic materials such as wood and paper), and still air.
As it thrives in moist environments, reducing the humidity of your property is a great first step. In addition, maintaining airflow and moderate temperatures is critical. Check your property for signs of water leaks and storm damage as well.
Keep areas prone to mould clean, sanitised, and as dry as possible. It can also be beneficial to check and clean behind items in your home that usually remain untouched for years. Think fridges, washing machines, cabinets, bed heads, and cupboards.
Applying preventative treatments are key. As mould removal Northern Rivers and remediation specialists, we know that keeping your home clean and safe is imperative for the health of you and your family. We can both provide appropriate recommendations for your needs and carry out the works required.
Ways to prevent mould growth myself?
While mould removal Northern Rivers should be left to the experts, there are 4 things you can do yourself to stop mould from growing in the first place.
- Avoid using carpets in the most humid areas of your home such as the bathroom and laundry. Ensure any bathmats are washed and air-dried regularly.
- Turn on your fan, air conditioner, or dehumidifier during more humid months. This reduces the excess build-up of moisture and contributes to improving airflow in the home or office.
- Apply antimicrobial primers when painting your home, particularly in more mould prone areas such as the kitchen and bathroom. This can also be beneficial outside the property on shady areas of fences and walls which tend to remain damp long after it’s rained.
- Maintain your plumbing appropriately to avoid potential leaks and ensure drainage is working. Do not ignore signs of plumbing or drainage issues!

We understand that mould is prone to growing in areas that are dark, warm, damp and lacking proper ventilation.

We can come to your residential or commercial property and offer mould prevention solutions to suit your space on a once off prevention project or regular scheduled calls. There are some commercial and residential spaces that require ongoing preventative works to ensure a full mould outbreak does not occur, and we have plans we can put in place for these specific cases.

Here’s how our process works from beginning to end:
See Our Mould Removal Northern Rivers Process Below
1. Pre-Inspection & Moisture Mapping
When we arrive at your property, we’ll first assess the damage and determine the best way to treat the mould. In many cases it may be just a basic cleaning and sanitisation treatment and application of mould prevention with minimal charge. For the more serious cases, we will complete a full digital mould inspection and moisture testing throughout the interior of the property, including ceiling and wall cavities and any underfloor areas.
2. Containment
If visible mould is located, we will contain the area to create temporarily safer conditions until our work officially commences.
3. Assessment & Recommendations
We will provide you with a report of the test results together with a price and timeline to remedy. The solutions we recommend will eliminate mould from your property and avoid future recurrence of the issue.
4. Scope of Works
Following our initial recommendations, we draw up a detailed report and scope of works for you to submit to your insurance company. We ensure all insurance requirements are ticked off for you to make this whole process quick and easy. Once works are complete, we also provide you with written reports and certification.
5. Further Containment & Negative Air Control
Once the scope of works is approved, we then implement and install negative air control to avoid cross contamination. This prevents the escape of mould spores from the affected area and contains them within one section of the building.
6. Remediation Works
We complete all remediation works according to the IICRC S520 International Standards for mould removal Northern Rivers. We pride ourselves on our consistent application of best practice in the treating, cleaning, and remediation of mould affected properties.
7. Structural Drying & Air Filtration
We also conduct structural drying and treatment of structural building materials. This ensures all mould spores are removed and will not grow back.
8. Final Clean
For further preventative measures, we carry out a final deep clean and encapsulation, if required. This is often implemented in very serious cases to guarantee our work. Here we also conduct bacteria swaps to certify that the property is mould free.
9. Final Report
Upon completion of all works, we compile a final report for your records.
