Where there is moisture, mould is sure to grow. Mould removal is usually an easy DIY job, with homeowners and office cleaners fixing the problem using soap, bleach, a brush, and some elbow grease. However, the greenish-black-brown stain that is commonly found lurking in corners can prove to be quite resilient. Are you doing enough? There is more to mould removal than meets the eye.

Why Perth Homes Are Susceptible to Mould Problems
Perth's unique climate creates ideal conditions for mould growth throughout the year. With hot, dry summers followed by mild, wet winters, this coastal city experiences significant humidity fluctuations that can catch homeowners off guard. The proximity of the Swan River and Indian Ocean increases moisture levels, particularly in riverside suburbs and coastal areas from Fremantle to Joondalup. During June to August, Perth homes face increased condensation issues as warm indoor air meets cooler surfaces, creating perfect breeding grounds for mould in bathrooms, kitchen, and poorly ventilated spaces.
At Kleen Slate Services, our mould remediation specialists in Perth understand the unique climate challenges and provide tailored mould removal solutions that address both the visible symptoms and underlying causes unique to Western Australian properties.
Is Your House Conducive to Mould Growth?
Mould is a common type of fungi that is found nearly everywhere. It belongs to the same family as yeast and mushrooms. As long as conditions are favourable, mould can grow outdoors and indoors, particularly in damp or wet areas that do not have adequate ventilation. They can grow on bathroom tiles, walls, wallpapers, ceilings, insulation materials, wood, and carpets.
Anywhere there is water, mould could grow, particularly if moisture is left unattended for long periods. Mould can grow in your Perth home if:
- your home has been flooded
- there are gaps in your home's foundation that let water in from the ground
- there are holes, gaps, and cracks in your home that are unprotected from the rain
- there are leaks in the pipes
Why Black Mould is Dangerous
There are more than 100,000 species of moulds and some of these can be toxic and harmful to your health. Toxic moulds produce mycotoxins which could cause a number of health problems, such as:
- allergies
- asthma
- respiratory problems
- eye irritations
- runny or congested nose
Mould is harmful to people with weak immune systems, such as those who have cancer and undergoing chemotherapy, those who are recovering from surgery, those who have chronic lung diseases, and those who have HIV/AIDS. Young children and the elderly are also vulnerable.
Is Your Home Infested With Mould?
There are certain safety precautions that should be followed when performing mould removal in Perth. If it is removed improperly, spores could be released into the air and inhaled. If you have serious mould issues, these should only be handled by professionals.
Our Step-by-Step Mould Removal Process
At Kleen Slate Services, we follow a comprehensive, methodical approach to mould removal that ensures your Perth home or business is thoroughly treated. Our IICRC-certified technicians use industry-leading techniques to remove mould and address the root causes to prevent future growth.
Step 1 - Initial Assessment and Inspection
Our Perth mould inspection services identify visible mould, document affected areas, and locate moisture sources feeding the growth. Our hygienist can even provide air testing, tape testing and even identify the specific type of mould if required.
Step 2 - Containment Setup
Our team establishes physical barriers and can use negative air pressure systems to prevent cross-contamination throughout your property as required.
Step 3 - Air Filtration Deployment
We strategically place commercial-grade HEPA air scrubbers and dehumidifiers to improve air quality and reduce moisture levels.
Step 4 - Source Moisture Remediation
We identify and address water intrusion points, condensation issues, and humidity problems that contribute to mould growth.
Step 5 - Professional Mould Removal
Using EPA-approved treatments, we physically treat affected materials and HEPA vacuum all surfaces to eliminate mould and capture loose spores.
Step 6 - Sanitise
We apply specialised antimicrobials products to all treated areas that don't just hide the mould they kill, they mould and inhibit the mould also.
Step 7 - Post-Remediation Verification
We perform visual inspections, air quality testing, and moisture level verification to confirm the effectiveness of our remediation process, however some smaller areas treated will not require this.
Step 8 - Client Education and Prevention Planning
We provide detailed explanations and a final report of completed work along with customised recommendations to prevent future mould or moisture issues.
Step 9 - Follow-up Inspection
We can offer a scheduled return visit to verify the continued effectiveness of treatments and assess the success of preventative measures.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Mould Removal
The common places you should check for mould in your house are your bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, living room, basement or garage and even behind your walls and ceiling. Mould thrives on these places since they are mostly warm and wet.
To know if there is mould in the places mentioned above, you will see visible mould spores, smell an unpleasant and pungent odour, see moisture build-up and mould growth. In addition, the mould growing inside your home can trigger allergic reactions and asthmatic reactions to your loved ones.
To prevent mould growth in your home, mop up all the water on the surfaces, remove any damp rugs and furniture inside your home and dry any damp surfaces. Keeping the surfaces inside your home dry and clean can prevent mould growth. If there is water damage inside your home, you must remove the water immediately. Ventilation to your property is required daily, open doors and windows when possible.
Sometimes, it is almost impossible to get rid of the moulds on your own, especially after water damage. It is expensive to purchase special equipment for cleaning and drying your home and your carpets. Therefore, if you cannot get rid of the moulds on your own, you need to call professional cleaners.
We service the whole of the Perth Metropolitan area, from Rockingham, Mandurah, Fremantle, to Joondalup, Alkimos, Ocean Reef to Midland and Armadale and all areas in between.
With small areas no, you will not have to move out of your house overnight. However, you will have to vacate your house during the treatment.
It takes a few hours to complete smaller treatments. However, the time it takes to complete the treatment depends on the severity of the mould and the size of your property.
