A Gold Coast property, with its striking split-level design and towering cathedral ceilings reaching an impressive 5.2 meters, presented unique challenges when water ingress from multiple sources led to widespread mould development. The property’s architectural features, coupled with the water issues, made the restoration process particularly complex.

The Challenge

Mould had developed throughout the property due to water ingress from various areas, with one significant source being the cathedral ceilings at an impressive 5.2 meters. The initial challenge was to determine the extent of the damage and identify all sources of water ingress.

The Solution

  • Engaged a Hygienist: To address the complexity of the situation, a hygienist was enlisted to conduct comprehensive testing. This step was crucial in assessing the full scope of the mould issue and determining the appropriate remediation strategy.

  • Engineering Controls and Containment Measures: Multiple areas within the property were designated for remediation, and engineering controls were implemented. Scaffolding was erected to access the 5.2m high cathedral ceilings, allowing for a thorough and successful mould remediation process.

  • Mould Remediation Process: With containment measures in place and safe access secured, the remediation process unfolded. This involved the removal of mould-infested materials, thorough cleaning, and disinfection. Special attention was given to addressing the cathedral ceiling leaks, a key contributor to the mould problem.

The Outcome

The successful mould remediation project not only eliminated the existing mould but also addressed the underlying causes - water ingress. Ongoing monitoring was recommended to ensure the long-term effectiveness of the remediation efforts. The property owner was advised on preventive measures and the importance of regular maintenance.
