Detecting Hidden Mould in Your Perth House

Mould is common in Perth homes as it thrives in warm, moist environments, especially in areas of above average humidity. This can lead to a wide range of health issues if left untreated. Unfortunately, mould isn’t always so easy to spot. It can hide behind walls, under carpets, and even inside furniture. 

The good news is that with a bit of knowledge and effort, you can detect and get rid of hidden mould in your house. From understanding the signs of hidden mould to taking the necessary steps for mould removal, this guide will provide you with all the information you need to ensure your home is healthy and safe.

Visually Inspect Your Home

Look in areas that may be prone to mould such as bathrooms, laundry, basements, and rooms with no windows or areas that are subject to no natural light or ventilation. Pay special attention to corners, windows, doorways, walls and ceilings for any discolouration or visible signs of black, green or even orange mould.

Check for Musty Odours

A musty smell can suggest there is mould present in your home. Open up doors and windows to air out the area.

Test Air Quality in Your Home

Use an air quality tester to measure humidity and mould spores in your home. If the test results are above normal levels, you may need to take action and engage a professional.

Use Moisture Metres

Moisture metres are used to detect levels of moisture inside materials like walls, floors, or wood. High levels of moisture can indicate the presence of mould.
