If you’ve spotted discolouration, a musty smell, or have had recent water damage, it could be mould. But seeing it is one thing. Understanding the extent of it, and what’s causing it – is where we come in.
At CTP Pest & Building Inspections, we carry out thorough, non-invasive mould inspections for homes, rental properties, and commercial buildings across the Newcastle, Central Coast and Hunter Region.
Mould can spread quickly and often hides in places you can’t easily see. Left untreated, it can damage your property and affect your health. At CTP Pest & Building Inspections, we provide detailed mould inspections that get to the root of the problem.
Mould can spread quickly and often hides in places you can’t easily see. Left untreated, it can damage your property and affect your health.
Our inspections go beyond just identifying surface growth. We look for what’s causing the issue and provide you with practical next steps.
We begin with a visual assessment of high-risk areas such as bathrooms, laundries, ceilings, walls, and subfloors.
Moisture readings are taken using calibrated meters to detect hidden dampness.
We check for poor ventilation, water ingress, condensation, and signs of leaking pipes or structural issues.
High-resolution photos document the extent of the mould and moisture damage.
You’ll receive a clear, easy-to-read digital report same day as inspection. This includes our findings, photos, and professional advice on what to do next.
Our inspectors are fully licensed builders and experienced in identifying building-related causes behind mould outbreaks. This means we’re not just spotting symptoms; we’re helping you fix the underlying problem.
Mould is a type of fungi that grows in damp, humid, or poorly ventilated spaces. It spreads through microscopic spores that float in the air and settle on surfaces. Once established, mould can grow rapidly, especially in areas where moisture builds up. such as bathrooms, laundries, kitchens, ceilings, and behind walls.
In most cases, mould appears as dark spots or stains on walls, ceilings, tiles, or timber. It may be black, green, grey, or even pink. Some types of mould are relatively harmless, but others can trigger allergic reactions or respiratory issues, especially in people with asthma or weakened immune systems.
While small amounts of mould can sometimes be cleaned easily, visible growth often points to a deeper moisture problem that needs professional assessment. If the root cause isn’t identified and resolved, it’s likely to come back.
These are just a few of the common issues associated with mould.
Structural damage to plaster, timber, and paintwork.
Persistent health symptoms like sneezing, coughing, skin irritation, or headaches.
Discomfort or complaints from tenants and residents.
Reduced property value or failed inspections when selling or leasing.
From a concerned homeowner about your bathroom ceiling, or a landlord responding to tenant complaints, our independent mould inspections provide peace of mind and a clear plan of action.

Common signs include a persistent musty smell, dark or patchy marks on walls or ceilings, peeling paint, or condensation issues. Mould often hides in places like behind furniture, inside cupboards, or under flooring.
Most inspections take between 1.5 to 3hrs, depending on the size of the property and the number of areas we need to assess. You receive reports same day as inspection.
No. Our inspections are non-invasive. We use moisture meters and visual checks to identify potential issues without cutting into walls or removing materials.
No, we are independent inspectors. This means our advice is unbiased and focused on accurate reporting, not selling additional services. We can recommend what steps to take or refer you to a qualified remediation company if needed.
Sometimes, but not always in detail. Our mould inspections go deeper, focusing specifically on moisture issues, contributing factors, and the scope of mould damage. If you suspect a problem, it’s best to request a standalone mould inspection.
