Our air treatment services are designed to manage the final phase of mould remediation. Following the physical removal of mould, microscopic spores can remain suspended in the air, posing a risk of re-contamination. This is a significant concern in Perth, where our damp winters and the “Fremantle Doctor” can elevate indoor humidity, creating conditions ripe for mould recurrence.
Air treatment is not a standalone solution for a mould problem. It is a critical post-remediation step recommended when our initial assessment and air sampling confirm elevated airborne spore counts. Our focus is to capture these residual particulates, supporting the work done during the main cleaning and remediation phase.
Post-Remediation Air Scrubbing to Reduce
Airborne Spore Load
A musty smell that lingers after mould cleaning is a common indicator of airborne particulates. Perth’s housing stock, from the double-brick homes in Subiaco to newer constructions, can trap moisture, allowing species like Aspergillus and Penicillium to become aerosolized. Our air treatment service directly addresses this by physically capturing these spores.
Reduction of airborne particulates
We establish containment zones and deploy commercial-grade air scrubbers to filter the air. This process helps capture the microscopic spores disturbed during remediation, which is essential for preventing them from settling on clean surfaces and starting new colonies.
Case Study: Post-storm remediation in a Maylands home
After a significant winter storm, a property near the Swan River experienced water ingress, leading to a Ulocladium outbreak on plasterboard walls. Following remediation, air sampling showed high spore counts. We deployed two Novatek Novair 2000-BIO air scrubbers for 72 hours, achieving a 94% reduction in airborne particulates and passing independent clearance testing.
Support following remediation
We perform our air treatment in accordance with the IICRC S520 Standard, which is recognized as the benchmark for professional mould remediation in Australia. This ensures the process is methodical and verifiable, providing documented assurance that the indoor environment has been returned to a normal fungal ecology.
Our Air Treatment Process: Technical Details & Equipment
We do not use generic “purifiers.” Our technicians are trained to operate specific equipment rated for mould remediation to manage and reduce airborne particulates effectively.
Air Treatment FAQs
What specific contaminants does air treatment target?
The primary targets are airborne mould spores from species like Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladosporium, which are common in Perth. The process also captures other particulates stirred up during remediation, such as dust and fragments of plasterboard.
Will air treatment remove mould from my walls or ceilings?
No. Air treatment only addresses airborne contaminants. Visible mould growing on surfaces requires physical removal and cleaning as part of a separate remediation service.
How does air scrubbing differ from an air quality test?
Air sampling (testing) is a diagnostic tool used to measure the concentration and types of airborne spores. Air scrubbing (treatment) is the remedial action taken to reduce those spore levels when they are found to be elevated.
Is air treatment a standard part of every mould remediation job?
Not always. It is recommended based on our IICRC-compliant assessment, the extent of the contamination, and the results of any air sampling performed. We explain its purpose clearly so your expectations are realistic.
