CASE STUDY: Effective Bathroom Mould Remediation
On 30 March 2026, our technician attended the property to complete the approved mould remediation works within the bathroom area.
The scope included strip-out, disposal, and treatment of mould-affected materials.
All works were carried out in accordance with industry standards and safety protocols.
During the process, affected plaster wall linings and contaminated plasterboard within the wall cavity were removed and safely disposed of.
Exposed framing timbers were cleaned, HEPA vacuumed, and treated using Percide with booster, followed by Biosan application to neutralise surfaces.
A final HEPA vacuum was conducted to remove residual particulate matter before containment removal, and works were paused for safe continuation pending further trade intervention.
During remediation, residual moisture and additional mould contamination were identified within timber framing and tiled sections, extending beyond the original scope.
Further investigation, including camera inspection, confirmed mould presence in concealed areas and water damage behind the vanity.
As a result, additional works are required, including engaging a licensed plumber to isolate the water supply, removing the vanity unit, and conducting further remediation on affected timber framing, tiled walls, and potentially the opposite side of the wall.
