Mould & Moisture

Australian homes often suffer from dampness, creating the perfect growth conditions for mould and mildew. Check through wardrobes and your shoes for signs of rot setting in.

Ruined Furniture

A home can be impacted by over 15 litres of water a day. All of which get absorbed into sofas, carpets and beds.

Unpleasant Odours

A musty odour when you come home isn’t the nicest welcome, it’s especially unpleasant on drying clothes. This is also a clear sign that mildew is growing nicely in the damp, airless conditions.

Perishing Paint

Flaking paint, peeling wallpaper and lifting lino are sure signs that the rot has well and truly set in.

Crumbling Curtains

Have a peek behind your curtains, if you see any black mould. That’s another sign there’s too much dampness in the room. That black mould will stain and eat away at your favourite fabric in no time.

Mould on Walls

Many homes have damp wall linings and in some cases the board itself is spongy. Not only is this a health concern but damp walls create a costly maintenance issue.

Corroding Condensation

Condensation occurs when there is so much dampness in the room that it can condense on the cold windows and roll down.
