Are you in a Strata Unit?

Poor ventilation is nearly always the cause of mould within home units and it can be difficult to know who is responsible or how to fix it.

Common causes:

• There may be a burst pipe or a water leak coming from outside the unit, it may be coming from another unit or common area plumbing within the property.
• If there is a sub floor area with inadequate ventilation the moisture may start to rise and cause mould.
• Many properties are built with poor water proofing of garden beds, balconies etc. this leads to water and moisture tracking and causing mould.
• In winter, the simple change of temperature outside while you are warm inside with heaters running can form condensation on walls and windows. This can then lead to mould in the property.
• The simple act of having a hot shower and not having an exhaust fan that is efficient can cause mould to form on bathroom walls and ceilings.
• The property being 100% closed up while you are out can trap heat and moisture and lead to mould.
• A property that is very shaded, particularly through the cooler months will stay damp and have mould issues.
