CASE STUDY: Localised Mould Contamination in External Laundry Area

Elite Restoration attended the property on 26 February 2026 alongside the homeowner to assess reported mould concerns.

It was initially believed that the issue was affecting the entire residence, including the 2-bedroom unit and the external laundry.

However, inspection findings confirmed that the main living areas were dry and free from visible mould growth.

The internal areas, including the lounge, bathroom, and kitchen, showed no signs of contamination or abnormal moisture levels.

Thermal imaging and moisture meter readings were consistent with standard building conditions.

In contrast, the external laundry area displayed significant mould growth, material deterioration, and elevated moisture levels within wall linings and timber framing.

The contamination was localised to the external laundry and classified as Condition 3 under ANSI/IICRC S520 due to visible fungal growth.

Affected materials include wall linings, timber framing, insulation, and lower wall sections.

It is recommended to proceed with a strip-out, followed by a builder assessment, while addressing ventilation and any underlying moisture sources before reinstatement.

Fix the Cause or the Mould Returns

• Condensation loves cold glass and cold corners.
• Leaks from roofs or showers sneak in like ninjas at night.
• Rising damp pushes moisture up walls like a lift that never rests.

Kill the water, and you kill the mould party.
