Mould Mates was founded by two mates, Nick and Trav, who were tired of living in mould-infested rental properties and decided to do something about it.
Our mission is simple: to help Australians live healthier home lives, free from mould and its effects.
We are mould remediation and indoor hygiene specialists. We locate, treat, remove and prevent mould growth using advanced tools such as thermal imaging, moisture mapping, humidity testing and science-backed remediation methods that deliver real results — safely and effectively.
We do more than just wipe mould from surfaces. Our comprehensive remediation includes everything from surface treatment to physical source removal. We work with quality trades where physical remediation is required so you can return to a mould-free, like-new home. We pride ourselves on providing top-tier service and high-quality work.
Our clients trust us for thorough site inspections and comprehensive reports outlining recommended treatments and preventative measures so you won’t have to worry about mould again.

No - Most of the chemicals we use are biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
Mould grows when excess moisture is present. Common causes include water leaks, poor ventilation, high indoor humidity, condensation, flooding, or plumbing issues. Mould spores are always present in the air, but they only grow when moisture conditions allow. When humidity is above 55% mould will begin to grow.
Yes. Mould exposure can trigger respiratory problems, allergies, asthma flare-ups, headaches, fatigue, and skin or eye irritation. Long-term exposure, especially in damp environments, can significantly impact indoor air quality and overall health.
Mould returns when the underlying moisture source is not resolved. Surface cleaning alone may remove visible mould, but without fixing leaks, ventilation, or humidity issues, mould will regrow. Surface treatment is a cheap quick bandaid fix which often will not completely solve the mould problem.
Yes. Mould spores and fragments can irritate the respiratory system, aggravate asthma, and cause allergic reactions such as coughing, sneezing, sinus congestion, and shortness of breath.
Yes. Children, elderly individuals, pets, and people with asthma or weakened immune systems are more vulnerable to mould exposure and may experience stronger or longer-lasting symptoms.
In most cases, yes. For larger remediation works involving containment or removal of materials, temporary vacating may be recommended. We advise this on a case-by-case basis after assessment.
While the term “mould poisoning” is commonly used, the real concern is prolonged exposure to mould spores and mycotoxins, which can cause serious health effects over time. Professional remediation reduces this risk significantly.
We locate moisture sources using visual inspection, moisture meters, thermal imaging, and building assessment techniques. Treating mould without identifying the moisture source is ineffective.
Testing may be used where required, especially for insurance, rental disputes, or verification purposes. However, visible mould and moisture issues alone are sufficient to justify remediation in most cases.
Yes. Mould commonly grows inside wall cavities, behind bathrooms, under carpets, and in roof spaces where moisture is trapped and ventilation is poor.
Moisture mapping identifies areas of elevated moisture within building materials. It allows us to pinpoint hidden issues and ensure all affected areas are treated correctly.
Mould cleaning removes visible mould from surfaces.
Mould remediation is a comprehensive process that includes identifying moisture sources, containing affected areas, removing contaminated materials where required, cleaning, drying, and preventing regrowth.
Professional remediation involves physically removing mould contamination, not just killing spores. Dead mould can still cause health issues if not properly removed.
Containment isolates affected areas using physical barriers and negative air pressure to prevent mould spores spreading to clean parts of the home during remediation.
Full-scale remediation is required when mould affects large areas, porous materials, wall cavities, or when occupants are experiencing health symptoms. This is the only recommended method for moderate to severe mould problems.
Timeframes vary depending on the severity. Small jobs may take a day, while larger remediation projects can take several days, including drying and verification.
Yes. We use professional-grade products designed for indoor environments and apply them using controlled methods. Safety precautions are always followed.
We eliminate mould and address the root cause by identifying moisture issues, improving ventilation, controlling humidity, and providing prevention guidance.
Costs vary depending on the extent of contamination, access, and required remediation level. An on-site assessment is the best way to determine accurate pricing.
In some cases, yes—particularly when caused by sudden water damage. Coverage depends on the policy and circumstances.
Post-remediation inspection, moisture verification, and optional clearance testing confirm that remediation has been completed correctly.

We provide expert mould remediation services throughout Queensland and New South Wales.
With proven Methods to effectively treat and eliminate mould. Our specialists are trained in source removal to completely remove mould from your property.
We provide customised treatment plans suited to your needs and the unique requirements of each job.
We provide instruction and advice on how to prevent mould from coming back so you won't have to worry about mould again.

We go beyond a visual inspection. Our certified technicians collect air and surface samples for analysis by an accredited independent laboratory in Brisbane.
This provides a quantifiable report on the exact type and concentration of mould spores, giving you the definitive proof needed for any health, property, or legal concern.
You will receive a detailed, easily digestible report, outlining mould types & concentration. Ideal for health concerns, property disputes and insurance claims.

Your Air-conditioner/heater will circulate mould spores, dust and allergens throughout your home if not cleaned regularly.
Our technicians are trained to properly assess your unit, dismantle and deeply clean the system, using non-toxic antimicrobial agents to remove mould, dust and allergens, without risking damage to the unit.
Fogging is an extra step which aids in killing off airborne spores. This helps to prevent mould from coming back.
The fogging agent is non-hazardous, biodegradable and not harmful to any contents.
The process distributes a mist right throughout the property to help prevent mould growth from spores which may have traveled there from the original contaminated zone.

Re-doing the silicone in wet areas is a crucial preventative service to stop water ingress into cavities, walls, behind tiles and vanities.
Once this happens, mould grows aggressively in these spaces, eventually starting to grow through the walls, floor or celling.
Once mould is inside the structure, porous building materials must be removed in order to treat the mould at the root. Simply wiping the mould off the surface is not enough.
Once mould is inside a wall it will contaminate both sides of the wall, leaving the adjacent room needing remediation.

"Mould Mates was created out of frustration with an industry that often treats mould as a cosmetic issue rather than a building and health problem.
For most of my younger life, my family and I lived in mouldy rental properties, Everyone in the home had constant health issues despite leading a healthy lifestyle and diet.
Too often, we saw mould “treated” with a quick clean, wiped with bleach or painted over, only for it to return weeks or months later. The moisture source, the causation, was ignored. Contaminated materials were left in place, and we were left thinking the problem was fixed, when it wasn’t.
Later in life after many years in the construction industry, I understood how buildings are constructed, how moisture moves, and why shortcuts fail. I also saw too many operators cutting corners building flawed homes destined to have long term issues.
So we stepped away to build something better.
Mould Mates exists to provide high-quality mould remediation that actually works. We focus on proper assessment, correct removal, and long-term prevention—so mould doesn’t keep coming back."
