Following a mould remediation project, microscopic spores often remain suspended in the air. These spores, primarily from common local species like Aspergillus and Penicillium, are invisible to the naked eye but can recolonise surfaces if left unaddressed. Our air treatment service is a critical final step, designed specifically to capture these airborne particulates and support the remediation work already completed.
Toowoomba’s climate, with its humid summers and cool winters that create condensation, provides a persistent breeding ground for mould. An older home in East Toowoomba with poor sub-floor ventilation or a modern apartment in Kearneys Spring with insufficient mechanical airflow can both harbour elevated spore loads after water damage or a remediation event. Our service directly addresses this final contamination pathway.
Capturing Airborne Spores After Mould Remediation
Air treatment is not a substitute for physical mould removal. Its purpose is to clean the air once the source of the mould has been eliminated. This is a crucial step to prevent cross-contamination and ensure the work done on surfaces is not undone by spores settling from the air.
We use industry-leading equipment, such as Phoenix Guardian R HEPA Air Scrubbers, to achieve this. These units are not simple filters; they are engineered to:
Create Negative Air Pressure
Contain the workspace and prevent spores from escaping to unaffected areas of your property.
Filter to 0.3 Microns
The HEPA filter media captures 99.97% of airborne particles, including the most common mould spores, dust, and other allergens.
Perform Multiple Air Changes Per Hour
A single unit can scrub the air in a typical 70 cubic meter room multiple times per hour, drastically reducing the concentration of airborne contaminants.
For example, after a recent remediation project in a Highfields home that suffered from winter condensation mould, we ran two air scrubbers for 24 hours. Post-treatment air sampling confirmed a significant reduction in the airborne spore count, providing the homeowner with verifiable data on the improved indoor environment.

Our Toowoomba Air Treatment Process: What to Expect
When our IICRC-certified technicians arrive, they follow a strict protocol based on the S520 standard for professional mould remediation.
When is Air Treatment Necessary for Your Property?
We only recommend air treatment when our initial inspection or air sampling confirms a need. It is not an automatic add-on. This service is typically required in situations such as:
After Significant Mould Removal
Following the physical cleaning of large or heavily contaminated areas.
Identified Airborne Contamination
When air testing shows elevated levels of mould spores, even if visible growth is minimal.
For At-Risk Occupants
In homes with individuals who have asthma, allergies, or are immunocompromised, reducing airborne particulates is a priority.
Post-Water Damage
After a significant water intrusion event, even once dried, spores may have become aerosolized.
Air Treatment FAQs
What is Air Treatment?
ir treatment uses HEPA filtration devices to capture and remove microscopic airborne contaminants like mould spores. Our process uses air scrubbers to physically pull spores out of the air, it is not an ozone or chemical fogging treatment.
Does air treatment remove mould from surfaces?
No. This service targets airborne spores only. Visible mould on walls, ceilings, or contents must be physically removed through our mould cleaning and remediation services first.
Is air treatment the same as air sampling?
No. Air sampling is a diagnostic test to measure the quantity and type of spores in the air. Air treatment is the active process of removing them. We often use sampling to verify the effectiveness of our treatment.
Is air treatment always required for mould issues?
Not always. For a small, contained patch of surface mould that is addressed early, it may not be necessary. We recommend it based on the specifics of the situation, such as the size of the affected area and the results of our inspection.
