Our 3-Step Mould Testing Process
When you need definitive proof, a visual inspection isn’t enough. Our scientific testing process provides quantifiable data on mould types and spore counts, giving you the evidence you need to act with certainty.
Scientific Sample
Collection
Our certified technician collects controlled air and surface samples from key areas of your property using sterile, industry-approved equipment to ensure accurate, uncontaminated data for analysis.
Independent
Laboratory Analysis
We send the samples to an accredited, third-party laboratory. Here, scientists identify the specific mould species present and quantify airborne spore concentrations.
Certified Report
& Interpretation
You receive the official laboratory report detailing all findings. Our expert will then help you interpret these results, explaining what they mean for your air quality and recommending next steps.
Types of Mould Testing We Offer
Different situations require different scientific approaches. Whether you need to assess airborne spore levels or identify mould on a specific surface, our targeted testing services provide the precise, evidence-based data you need to act with confidence.
Air Quality
Testing
Our calibrated air pumps capture airborne particles, including mould spores. This test is crucial for assessing overall indoor air quality and identifying potential hidden mould sources that aren’t visible.
Direct Surface
Sampling
When you see visible growth, a direct sample can identify the exact mould species. This is vital for understanding the potential risk and determining the correct remediation strategy.
Post-Remediation
Clearance
After a mould removal job, this test verifies that the area has been returned to a safe, normal condition. It provides independent, scientific proof that the remediation was successful.
Suspicion Is a Symptom.
Our Testing Provides the Diagnosis.
Sometimes, the biggest risk isn’t the mould you see, but the invisible spores you can’t. Our certified testing process goes beyond visual checks to provide quantifiable, scientific data on your property’s air quality and surfaces.
We provide definitive data for situations like:
✅ Unexplained health symptoms or allergies
✅ Pre-purchase property due diligence
✅ Verifying a successful mould removal (clearance testing)
✅ Detecting hidden mould sources in the air
We don’t just look for mould. We measure it.
Get the scientific proof you need to act with total confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is mould testing?
Mould testing is the process of collecting air or surface samples to identify the type and concentration of mould present in a property. The samples are analysed by a certified laboratory, and results are provided in a detailed report.
Why should I have mould testing done?
Mould is not always visible, and its effects can be harmful even when hidden behind walls, under flooring, or in air conditioning systems. Testing helps:
Confirm the presence of mould.
Identify the type of mould and whether it is harmful.
Assess indoor air quality.
Provide evidence for landlords, tenants, or insurance claims.
How does mould testing work?
Our specialists take samples using professional equipment. This may include:
Air sampling – measuring airborne spore levels.
Surface swabs or tape lifts – testing visible mould growth.
Bulk sampling – testing materials like carpet or plasterboard.
The samples are sent to a laboratory, and results are usually available within 1–2 business days.
When should I consider mould testing?
You may need mould testing if:
You notice musty odours but cannot see mould.
Family members experience unexplained allergies or respiratory symptoms.
You are buying or renting a property and want peace of mind.
You need evidence for an insurance or tenancy dispute.
What will the mould testing report include?
Your report will detail:
The type(s) of mould identified.
The concentration of spores compared to safe levels.
Areas of concern within the property.
Recommendations for remediation and prevention.
Is mould testing necessary if I can already see mould?
Yes. Visible mould shows there is a problem, but testing can determine the extent of the contamination, the type of mould present, and whether spores are affecting indoor air quality beyond the visible growth.
Can mould testing detect hidden mould?
Yes. Air sampling is particularly effective in detecting hidden mould behind walls, ceilings, or under floors, where spores may be present even if growth is not visible.
How much does mould testing cost in Melbourne?
The cost depends on the number of samples required and the type of testing. Prices generally start from a few hundred dollars. A detailed quote can be provided after an initial consultation.
