If you live in Mont Albert, you know the area has character homes, leafy streets, and beautiful gardens – but what you might not see right away is the mould problem spreading behind the scenes.
Cracks in old foundations, tree roots affecting drainage, and humidity from the garden sticking to your walls all contribute to one big issue: excess moisture. And where there’s moisture, mould follows quickly. It’s not only unpleasant – it’s bad for your lungs, damaging to your property, and persistent if action isn’t taken quickly. That’s where Trade Select Building Restoration comes in.
We don’t just clean it. We remove it properly – so it’s gone, and it stays gone.
Mont Albert’s older homes were built in a different era, and now many are showing their age. Cracked foundations allow damp to rise from below, and tree roots can clog or damage old pipes, leaving standing water around your home. On top of that, all the lush gardens mean higher humidity levels that keep your walls wet longer than they should be.
This creates perfect conditions for mould to grow in walls, ceilings, and hidden spots. And once it’s in, it spreads – fast.
If you’ve been noticing musty smells, dark patches, or unexplained coughing and sneezing – there’s a good chance mould is the cause. The longer it sits, the more damage it causes.
You told us your biggest concerns. Here’s how we address them:
We’re not here to patch things up. We fix them properly. With full containment, HEPA air filtration, and post-removal testing, you’ll know it’s completely safe.
Older homes often have cracked foundations, which allow rising damp to move up through walls. Once moisture gets inside, it creates the right conditions for mould to grow - especially if it isn't professionally treated. Surface cleaning is only surface level. Trade Select goes deeper, using moisture detection and drying techniques to address the source, not only the symptoms.
Yes. Tree roots often damage underground drainage systems, leading to poor runoff and pooling water around your home. That persistent dampness creates an environment where mould can thrive. We assess and manage water ingress sources as part of our service, so you're not caught in a cycle of repeated mould outbreaks.
In leafy areas like Mont Albert, humidity builds up easily - particularly near garden-facing walls. When moisture clings to exterior surfaces, it can seep through to the interior, especially if ventilation is poor. We manage this by improving airflow and drying out hidden damp zones with industrial-grade equipment.
Yes. At Trade Select, we use safe, non-toxic methods and isolate the affected area using containment systems and HEPA filters. This keeps your home safe during the process and prevents airborne spores from spreading to unaffected zones.
If you notice persistent musty smells, black or green patches, or your family is experiencing respiratory symptoms - it's time. Mould spreads quickly and can be hidden behind walls or under flooring. Our initial assessment is designed to find exactly where the issue lies and how far it has progressed.
Mould doesn’t wait – and you shouldn’t either. Your family’s health and your home’s future are too important to risk.
