Frequently Asked Questions
What makes your mould removal service different?
Unlike general cleaners or quick fix solutions, we follow IICRC mould remediation standards, use proper containment, and treat both surface mould and spores. We don’t just clean — we remediate.
How do our Mould Inspections differ from others?
At Mould Busters Melbourne, our inspections go beyond just identifying visible mould. We send both a mould technician and a qualified builder to assess not only the presence of mould but also potential hidden mould growth. More importantly, we focus on finding and addressing the root cause—which is often due to water leaks, building defects, or poor ventilation causing excessive humidity. Our approach includes a comprehensive mould and building inspection in one, ensuring complete transparency about both the mould issue and its underlying causes.
Will the mould come back after removal?
Not if it’s done properly. We use hospital-grade products and apply mould inhibitors to help prevent regrowth. We also advise you on moisture control and post-treatment maintenance to keep mould away for good.
Do you offer mould testing and air sampling?
Yes, we provide onsite mould sampling as part of our inspections. If visible mould is present, we can often determine the type and severity on the spot. In cases where mould is less evident, we collect air samples, which are analysed in a lab to detect hidden mould spores. Results typically take a few days, giving us an accurate assessment of mould presence in the air.
What’s included in our Mould Inspection report?
Our detailed report provides a complete breakdown of your mould issue, including:
✅ Building history – Understanding past conditions that may have led to mould growth.
✅ Findings & measurements – Moisture readings, humidity levels, and air quality assessment.
✅ Photos of affected areas – Clear documentation of visible mould and potential problem areas.
✅ Root cause analysis – Identifying the source of the mould, referencing NCC (National Construction Code) compliance.
✅ Treatment recommendations – A step-by-step guide to safely remove and prevent mould.
✅ Trade recommendations – Suggestions for trusted professionals to fix structural or moisture-related issues.
✅ Removal & treatment quote – A transparent cost estimate for professional mould remediation.
Why does my house have a musty, damp odour?
A persistent musty smell is a common sign of hidden mould or excessive moisture in your home. This odour is caused by microbial volatile organic compounds (MVOCs) released as mould grows. Common causes include:
Water leaks (roof leaks, plumbing issues, or rising damp).
High humidity & poor ventilation (especially in bathrooms, kitchens, and basements).
Condensation build-up on windows, walls, or ceilings.
Damp materials such as carpets, insulation, or furniture that have absorbed moisture.
If you notice a musty smell, mould could be present even if you don’t see it. We recommend a professional mould inspection to confirm and address the issue.
I’ve recently moved into a home and started feeling sick. Could this be mould?
Yes, exposure to mould can lead to health symptoms, especially in people who are sensitive to mould spores. Symptoms may include:
Persistent coughing, sneezing, or congestion
Skin rashes or irritation
Headaches, dizziness, or fatigue
Worsened asthma or respiratory issues
Itchy or irritated eyes and throat
If you’ve moved into a new home and suddenly experience these symptoms, mould could be a contributing factor. Our mould inspection can help identify if mould is present and whether it’s affecting indoor air quality.
Can I remove mould myself, or do I need professional treatment?
For small surface mould (like in shower tiles or on minor walls), you can clean it using vinegar or a mould-specific cleaner. However, DIY cleaning won’t fix the root cause—if moisture issues persist, mould will return. Professional treatment is needed for:
Large or recurring mould infestations
Mould in porous materials (wood, drywall, carpets)
Mould with a strong musty odour (indicating hidden mould)
Health concerns related to mould exposure
Our professional mould removal process includes not just treatment but also identifying and fixing the moisture source to prevent mould from coming back.
My apartment is in an old Art Deco block in Balaclava. Are these buildings prone to mould?
