Black Mould Removal Services
Professional black mould removal with full containment protocols and HEPA air scrubbing. Our IICRC S520 certified technicians ensure safe, thorough remediation with post-clearance verification.
Our Black Mould Removal Process
Containment & Air Filtration
Full negative air containment is established with HEPA-filtered air scrubbers to prevent cross-contamination during the remediation process.
Mould Colony Removal
Affected materials are carefully removed and disposed of following strict protocols. Non-porous surfaces are cleaned using specialist techniques.
Antimicrobial Treatment
All remediated areas receive professional-grade antimicrobial treatment to eliminate residual spores and inhibit future mould growth.
Post-Remediation Verification
Independent air quality testing and visual inspection confirm successful remediation. Clearance certificates are issued upon passing.
Professional Black Mould Removal Features
Stachybotrys Identification
Laboratory-confirmed species identification to determine the exact type of black mould and appropriate remediation strategy.
Full Containment Protocols
Negative air pressure containment with polyethylene sheeting prevents spore migration to unaffected areas of the property.
HEPA Air Scrubbing
Industrial HEPA air scrubbers capture 99.97% of particles down to 0.3 microns, ensuring thorough airborne spore removal.
Antimicrobial Treatment
Professional-grade antimicrobial agents are applied to all remediated surfaces to eliminate residual contamination.
Structural Material Removal
Porous materials such as drywall, carpet, and insulation that cannot be salvaged are safely removed and disposed of.
Post-Remediation Clearance Testing
Independent laboratory air sampling verifies the remediation meets IICRC S520 clearance standards before the area is released.
Black Mould Health Risks
Frequently Asked Questions
Is all black mould dangerous?
Not all dark-coloured mould is Stachybotrys chartarum (toxic black mould). Many common moulds appear dark but pose lower health risks. However, professional testing is the only reliable way to identify the species. We recommend treating all visible mould growth seriously and having it assessed by a certified technician.
Can I remove black mould myself?
Small areas of surface mould (less than one square metre) on non-porous surfaces may be manageable with proper PPE. However, black mould in wall cavities, HVAC systems, or large areas requires professional remediation. DIY attempts without containment can spread spores throughout the property, significantly worsening the problem.
How do I know if I have black mould?
Signs include dark greenish-black patches on walls, ceilings, or other surfaces, a persistent musty odour, and unexplained health symptoms such as respiratory issues or headaches. A professional mould inspection with laboratory testing is the only definitive way to confirm Stachybotrys presence.
How long does black mould remediation take?
Remediation timelines depend on the extent of contamination. Small contained areas may take one to two days, while large-scale remediation involving structural materials can take three to five days or more. We provide a detailed timeline during the initial assessment.
Will black mould come back after remediation?
Effective remediation addresses both the mould and the underlying moisture source. If the moisture issue is resolved, black mould should not return. We identify and recommend solutions for all contributing moisture problems as part of our remediation process.
