What Is a mould clearance Inspection?

A mould clearance inspection is the final step in the mould remediation process, ensuring that affected areas have been properly cleaned and are safe for reoccupation. This inspection verifies that mould levels have returned to normal and that moisture issues have been resolved to prevent future growth.

Key Steps in a Mould Clearance Inspection

1.    Visual Inspection – A thorough assessment of treated areas to confirm the removal of visible mould and signs of water damage.

2.    Moisture Testing – Measurement of humidity levels and moisture content in building materials to confirm a dry environment.

3.    Air and Surface Sampling – Collection of samples to compare mould spore levels before and after remediation.

4.    Laboratory Analysis – Testing of samples in a NATA accredited laboratory to verify acceptable indoor air quality.

5.    Clearance Report – A final report detailing the findings, test results, and confirmation that the area meets safety standards.

Why Is a Mould Clearance Inspection Important?

Skipping a clearance inspection can leave property owners at risk of ongoing mould growth or hidden moisture issues that may lead to future mould growth. A professional clearance inspection provides peace of mind that remediation was successful and the environment is safe.
