Test My Property

On holiday and it looks like the mould is following us everywhere we go.
Even when you’re “off duty”, you start noticing the damp patches, musty smells and condensation that most people walk straight past.
Once you see mould risks, you can’t unsee them — at home, in hotels, rentals, offices, anywhere.
If you’re noticing similar issues in your own place, it’s probably time for a proper moisture and indoor air quality check rather than hoping it “goes away”.

Recent trip to Melbourne University to learn more about Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and honestly, it felt like a playground for an IAQ nerd. From low cost sensors and diagnostic equipment to real IAQ solutions, walking through those labs reminded me why I love this work as a building biologist and consultant — turning data into healthier air for homes, workplaces and campuses across Victoria.

Walked into a local museum in NZ on my holidays and was hit with a musty odour the moment I stepped into the theatre. Within 15 seconds I’d spotted visible mould growth on the wall and around a utility box – a classic sign of poor ventilation and likely an unmaintained HVAC system.
I held my breath, and walked straight back out.
If you notice musty odours, condensation, or visible mould in your home, rental, or workplace in Melbourne/Victoria, it’s time to assess not guess.

🕵️‍♂️ Moisture tells a hidden story.
During every detailed building inspection, we don’t just visually check walls and ceilings — we test the moisture content of building materials and carefully inspect furniture, skirting boards, and soft furnishings for any signs of visible mould.
Even a small damp patch or discoloured fabric could indicate a hidden problem!
