CASE STUDY: Mould Inspection and Moisture Assessment

On 5 March 2026, Elite Restoration conducted a professional mould inspection following concerns of microbial growth caused by ongoing water ingress from leaking bathroom showers.

The inspection identified failure in shower waterproofing as the likely cause, leading to moisture migration into adjacent wall cavities and surrounding areas.

While general living spaces showed no visible mould contamination, elevated moisture levels were detected within bathroom areas.

Further investigation confirmed localised mould growth within the Bathroom 1 shower wall cavity, along with elevated airborne fungal levels across the bathroom and nearby areas.

Moisture intrusion was also identified in the ensuite walk-in robe, indicating concealed water damage linked to the leaking shower system.

Laboratory testing supported these findings, detecting increased fungal spore counts consistent with moisture-affected environments.

Elite Restoration recommended immediate repair of the leaking showers to prevent further water damage and mould growth.

Additional actions include opening wall cavities to assess hidden damage, replacing affected materials, and improving ventilation systems to control humidity.

Professional duct cleaning was also advised to remove mould spores from the HVAC system and prevent re-contamination.
