Living in Rockhampton means dealing with a hot and humid subtropical climate. During the wet season, which typically runs from November to April, prolonged humidity levels often climb above 75%, creating the perfect breeding ground for mould inside our homes. While physical mould removal cleans surfaces, airborne spores often remain. Our air treatment service is designed specifically for this challenge, using commercial-grade air filtration to capture microscopic particulates left circulating in your property.
Our service is not a standalone fix for a visible mould problem. It is a critical final step after a professional mould remediation, particularly following water intrusion events common to the region, from a burst pipe in a Frenchville Queenslander to broader water damage in flood-prone areas like Depot Hill and Park Avenue.
Capturing Airborne Spores Fueled by Central Queensland's Climate
Generic air purifiers often fail to capture the specific spore types, like Aspergillus and Cladosporium, that thrive in our local conditions. After our technicians complete a surface remediation, we address the invisible threat of airborne contamination.
What you get with our service:
Targeted Spore Capture
We deploy commercial HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) scrubbers that capture 99.97% of airborne particles down to 0.3 microns. This is the industry standard specified by the IICRC for effective mould spore removal. This process targets the spores released during the cleaning process or from hidden sources.
Reduced Cross-Contamination Risk
By establishing negative air pressure zones, we can contain airborne spores within the affected area during remediation. This prevents particulates from migrating into uncontaminated rooms of your home or business.
Post-Remediation Verification Support
Air treatment is essential before a final post-remediation air sample is taken. It helps ensure the air quality has been returned to a normal fungal ecology, providing documented clearance that the job was completed correctly.
Our Air Treatment Process: What to Expect
We don’t recommend air treatment without a prior inspection. Once we’ve confirmed the need through visual assessment, moisture metering, or third-party air sampling, our process is straightforward.
For a recent project in a Queenslander home in The Range, persistent musty odors remained after the owners cleaned a visible mould patch in a bedroom. Our moisture testing identified a slow leak behind the wall. After the wall was repaired and the surface mould remediated, we ran two Phoenix Guardian HEPA air scrubbers for 48 hours to capture any residual Aspergillus spores. The post-treatment air sample confirmed the room’s air quality was restored.
When is Professional Air Treatment Necessary?
Air treatment isn’t required for every mould issue. We typically recommend it in these situations:
After Water Damage
Following events like Fitzroy River flooding or a significant internal leak, airborne spore counts are almost always elevated.
In High-Humidity Properties
Some older homes, particularly low-set Queenslanders in areas like Allenstown or Koongal, struggle with sub-floor dampness and poor ventilation that contributes to high ambient spore levels.
For Sensitive Occupants
When residents have known allergies or respiratory conditions, reducing the airborne mould load is a critical health and safety measure.
Post-Remediation Clearance
It's a mandatory step to pass independent air quality testing after a significant mould removal project.
Air Treatment FAQs
What equipment do you use?
We primarily use truck-mounted and portable HEPA air scrubbers and negative air machines from industry-leading brands like Dri-Eaz and Phoenix. We do not use ozone generators, which can be ineffective and produce harmful by-products.
Does air treatment remove mould from walls or ceilings?
No. Air treatment only targets airborne particulates. Visible mould growth on surfaces requires physical removal and cleaning through a separate mould remediation process.
Is this different from running a store-bought air purifier?
Yes, significantly. Our commercial units move hundreds of cubic feet of air per minute (CFM), allowing for multiple complete air changes per hour in a given space. This is a level of performance far beyond residential purifiers.
How long does it take?
The duration depends on the size of the space and the contamination level, but a typical treatment runs for 24 to 72 hours to ensure sufficient air changes.
