Quick Risk Assessment

1

Do you see visible mould anywhere in your home?

Look in bathrooms, behind furniture, window frames, ceilings, and under sinks.

2

Is there a persistent musty or damp smell?

A musty odour often indicates hidden mould — in wall cavities, subfloors, or roof spaces.

3

Has your property had water damage or leaks?

Past leaks, burst pipes, or flood damage significantly increase mould risk even if dried out.

4

Do you see condensation on windows or cold surfaces?

Regular window condensation is a strong indicator of excess indoor moisture.

5

Is your property more than 30 years old?

Older homes often lack modern damp-proofing, ventilation, and insulation.

6

Does your home have a subfloor space (raised floor)?

Subfloor areas can trap moisture, especially in shaded or low-lying properties.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a mould risk assessment?
A mould risk assessment identifies factors in your property that increase the likelihood of mould growth. By answering questions about visible mould, moisture sources, property age, and ventilation, we can determine your risk level and recommend appropriate next steps — from DIY prevention to professional inspection.
How accurate is this online assessment?
This online tool provides a useful preliminary indication of your mould risk based on common risk factors. However, it cannot replace a professional in-person mould inspection, which includes moisture testing, air quality sampling, and a thorough assessment of hidden areas. We recommend a professional inspection for any property scoring moderate or above.
What does a professional mould inspection involve?
A professional mould inspection typically includes a visual assessment of all rooms and accessible areas, moisture readings using specialised equipment, thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture, air quality testing if required, and a written report with remediation recommendations. Most inspections take 1-2 hours for a standard home.
How much does a mould inspection cost in Melbourne?
Professional mould inspections in Melbourne typically cost between $200 and $600 depending on property size and the level of testing required. Basic visual inspections with moisture readings are at the lower end, while comprehensive inspections with laboratory air quality testing are at the higher end. Many specialists offer free initial assessments before quoting for remediation work.
Is mould dangerous to my health?
Yes, prolonged mould exposure can cause respiratory issues, allergic reactions, skin irritation, and headaches. People with asthma, allergies, or compromised immune systems are particularly vulnerable. Black mould (Stachybotrys chartarum) produces mycotoxins that can cause more serious health effects. If you suspect mould in your home, it is important to address it promptly.
