Why Mould Loves the Coast
Moist air hugs the South Coast like a koala on a gum tree.
Warm days and cool nights make tiny indoor clouds.
That is prime time for mould to throw a party.
It sneaks into corners like a magpie after your chips.
Give it moisture, and it spreads faster than footy chat at the pub.

CASE STUDY: Hidden Moisture, Lasting Impact
Water damage and mould contamination often go hand in hand, especially after severe weather events.
On 9th September 2025, Elite Restoration attended a property following reports of visible black mould growth in internal areas.
The root cause was prolonged moisture exposure after a major storm event, where wind-driven rain entered through the roof cavity and structural joints.
Moisture became trapped within the building structure, particularly under metal roofing and around slab-to-wall junctions, creating the perfect environment for mould to thrive.
Over time, this led to extensive mould colonisation in the roof cavity, along with visible growth and material deterioration in internal areas such as ceilings and window zones.
Laboratory testing confirmed elevated mould spore levels, indicating active contamination rather than dormant presence.
This situation highlights the importance of thorough remediation, especially following Category 3 water intrusion involving contaminated floodwater.
Without proper drying and removal of affected materials, residual moisture and salts can continue to drive mould regrowth long after the initial event.
Following industry standards such as IICRC S500 and S520 ensures that contamination is properly addressed, restoring a safe and healthy indoor environment.
Local Factors That Make Mould Worse
- Coastal humidity from Moruya to Narooma and beyond.
- Closed up holiday homes that sit tight between visits.
- Storms that push rain under roofs and into wall cavities.
- Leaky showers and slow drips that hide behind tiles.
- Shady blocks where the sun never quite hits the wall.
