Our team was called to a home in Coburg after the homeowners noticed mould growing on their ceiling. On arrival, we found leaking gutters had caused water to seep into the roof cavity, which led to mould developing, especially in the master bedroom.

The Challenge:

• Because mould had grown inside the ceiling, we couldn’t tell how far it had spread until we started work.

• Moisture levels were still high, so the damage risked getting worse.

• Since the master bedroom was affected, it was important to complete the job quickly to enable the homeowners to return home without delay.

Our Solution:

• We mobilised our team within hours and began the drying process immediately to stop further damage.

• We carefully removed water-damaged plaster and materials to prevent mould from spreading and to keep the home safe.

• During removal, we discovered mould had tracked further inside the ceiling cavity than expected, so extra plaster had to be cut away.

• Once all affected materials were removed, we treated and remediated the area to remove every trace of the mould.

• We then professionally contained the open ceiling, allowing the homeowners to return to their bedroom comfortably and safely.

• We completed all work within a single day, ensuring a smooth and efficient restoration.

Outcome:

• The home was made safe for reoccupation within 24 hours, with minimal disruption.

• Mould was fully removed, and moisture was addressed to prevent recurrence.
