Understanding Mould: The Hidden Threat to Your Property and Health
When it comes to mould, what you cannot see or smell can still cause serious damage to your property and health. Recently, a homeowner in Burleigh Heads reached out to Elite Maintenance with concerns about a persistent musty odour in the fourth bedroom of her home.
Identifying the Problem
The customer explained that the smell had been intensifying and suspected mould might be the cause. She also mentioned a water tank located on the exterior wall just outside the affected bedroom.
Upon arrival, our Elite Maintenance mould experts, trained to follow IICRC industry standards, conducted a thorough inspection. We discovered that moisture from the water tank area had contributed to mould growth on the interior side of the wall, allowing it to spread into the bedroom.
Professional Mould Remediation
Our team immediately took action and:
- Contained the affected area to prevent the spread of mould spores.
- Removed the mould safely using industry-approved cleaning agents.
- Treated all affected surfaces to neutralise spores and prevent regrowth.
- Provided recommendations for moisture control to reduce future risks.
The Outcome
Thanks to our comprehensive remediation process, the homeowner’s property is now fresh, healthy, and mould-free. The unpleasant odour has been eliminated, and the homeowner now has peace of mind knowing the issue was resolved at its source, not just on the surface.
