Not sure if your mould problem needs a professional? Here’s a clear decision framework that helps Adelaide homeowners make the right call — without underreacting or overreacting.
Call a Professional When:
- Area exceeds 1 sqm: DIY removal of large areas creates massive spore release
- Porous materials affected: Plasterboard, timber, carpet — mould penetrates deep
- It keeps coming back: Indicates untreated moisture source
- You can smell it but can’t see it: Hidden mould in cavities or subfloors
- Health symptoms present: Respiratory issues, allergies, headaches
- After flooding: Post-flood mould requires immediate professional response
- Black mould identified: Potential mycotoxin risk
- HVAC contamination: Ducted system mould spreads spores throughout the house
