In Bundaberg, cleaning visible mould is only half the battle. Our humid subtropical climate, especially during the wet season, creates the perfect breeding ground for airborne mould spores long after the surface has been treated. These microscopic particles, often from common local species like Aspergillus and Cladosporium, can recolonize damp areas and impact respiratory health.
Our air treatment service is designed for this specific problem. Following a mould removal or remediation project, we deploy commercial-grade air scrubbing equipment to capture these residual airborne contaminants. This is a critical final step, particularly for properties with a history of water intrusion from events like the 2013 Burnett River flood or persistent dampness in suburbs like Avenell Heights and Svensson Heights.
Capturing Airborne Spores After Mould Cleaning
Air treatment addresses the invisible threat left behind after a mould cleaning project.
Reduction of Airborne Spores
Our process targets the microscopic spores that become disturbed and aerosolized during mould removal. A standard cleaning can leave millions of these spores floating in the air, ready to land on a new surface.
Interrupting the Mould Life Cycle
By capturing spores, we help prevent them from settling in other areas of your property. This is vital in high-humidity zones like the bathrooms and laundries of classic Queenslander homes or the sub-floor spaces prone to dampness.
Confidence After Remediation
Completing a mould removal job with professional air scrubbing provides confidence that the indoor environment has been returned to a normal fungal ecology, as outlined in the IICRC S520 standard for professional mould remediation.
Our Air Treatment Process: Beyond Simple Filtering
We don’t use simple retail air purifiers. Our technicians use commercial-grade HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) air scrubbers designed for post-remediation work.
These units are strategically placed to create continuous airflow patterns, forcing all the air in a contaminated room through a multi-stage filtration system. The HEPA filter is rated to capture 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, which is small enough to trap individual mould spores. We run this equipment for a specified period, calculated based on the room’s volume, to achieve multiple complete air changes per hour.
This process is standard practice under the ANSI/IICRC S520, the industry’s benchmark for professional and safe mould remediation.
Why Air Treatment is a Key Step in Bundaberg's Climate
Bundaberg property owners face unique challenges. The persistent humidity, especially in coastal suburbs like Bargara and Innes Park, means that once a moisture source is present, mould growth is aggressive. Southern-facing walls, which receive less direct sunlight, are particularly vulnerable.
We often recommend air treatment in these situations:
- After a significant water leak or flooding event where materials have been saturated.
- Following the physical removal of extensive mould colonies in a home.
- When pre-remediation air sampling confirms elevated spore counts.
- In homes where occupants have known sensitivities to mould and require the highest standard of post-remediation verification.
Air Treatment FAQs
What exactly is air treatment?
Air treatment, or air scrubbing, is a professional process that uses HEPA filtration equipment to physically remove airborne contaminants like mould spores from an indoor environment. It’s a finishing step after the source of the mould has been removed.
Does this service remove mould from my walls or ceilings?
No. Air treatment only targets airborne particles. Visible mould growth on surfaces requires physical removal and cleaning through our separate mould remediation services.
Is this different from mould testing?
Yes. Air testing or sampling involves capturing a sample of air to identify the types and concentrations of mould spores present. Air treatment is the process of actively removing those spores from the air. Testing often determines the need for treatment.
When is air treatment necessary?
It is not always required. We recommend it based on our IICRC-certified inspection findings, the scale of the initial contamination, the history of the property (e.g., post-flood), and the health concerns of the occupants.
