MOISTURE & VISIBLE CONDITIONS
Mould Inspection Reservoir
Droplets on a window reveal are worth recording before they disappear during the day. For your Reservoir enquiry, explain window condensation. A visible, accessible assessment considers surface condition and hygrometer information, with practical limits agreed before the appointment.
Window condensation considered
Accessible surface condition discussed
Hygrometer information in context
BEFORE THE APPOINTMENT
Observations worth bringing to the appointment
Describe visible changes around a wet window reveal; avoid guessing a species.
Growth
Note the edge, colour and spread without scraping the finish.
Odour
Explain where the smell is strongest and when you first notice it.
Droplets
Record whether condensation appears before the room is used or afterwards.
Stains
Mention any change following rainfall, a spill or plumbing work.
Dampness
Describe how long the surface stays wet between observations.
Returning spots
Say what was cleaned previously and how quickly the marks came back.
READ THE ROOM
Readings need a room history
Because droplets collect after a cool night, timing matters. Explain recent room use, ventilation and wet events. Readings alongside the window surround describe appointment conditions; they cannot reconstruct every earlier damp period.
Compare changes at a wet window reveal with dated photographs, if available. Keep observations separate from proof of a leak. Where window condensation raises repair questions, a suitable trade may need to investigate separately.
OBSERVE · MEASURE · DISCUSS
A focused inspection, step by step
What the agreed visit considers
Confirm access to the window surround and the appointment boundaries.
Visible extent
Consider visible growth and condition at a wet window reveal. Explain loose or delicate finishes around the window surround. Record an obstructed section as a limitation, rather than assuming it was inspected.
Moisture information
A professional hygrometer adds room-air humidity information around the window surround. Discuss window condensation and room use. The reading cannot locate every water entry point.
Practical boundaries
Agree safe access around a wet window reveal. Our mould inspection service explains scope. Species identification and cavity investigation are not automatic inclusions.
01
Describe the concern
Identify a wet window reveal and explain that droplets collect after a cool night. Give the address and access restrictions before booking.
02
Agree accessible areas
Agree what can be viewed around the window surround. Fixed panels, concealed spaces and unsafe heights remain acknowledged access limits.
03
Consider moisture context
Consider observations and hygrometer information alongside window condensation. Explain recent cleaning or water events affecting the window surround.
04
Discuss further decisions
Discuss next decisions for a wet window reveal. Confirm information supplied afterwards; laboratory reports and hidden-area clearance are not assumed.
Compare the accessible rooms
Bathroom
Point out shower steam, visible sealant changes and damaged bathroom paint separately.
Bedroom
Explain furniture obstructions and changes around accessible bedroom windows or outside walls.
Kitchen
Describe cooking, appliance use and any visible plumbing stains without assuming a cause.
Walls and ceilings
Identify reachable junctions, loose finishes and areas concealed by fixed fittings.
CONDITIONS, NOT ASSUMPTIONS
Decide what should happen next
Visible growth at a wet window reveal may require separate mould removal. Material condition, extent and access affect that discussion. Inspection pricing does not automatically include physical cleaning.
Ask about mould remediation when window condensation raises wider concerns. Repairs may involve another trade. Treating the window surround cannot guarantee a dry room; monitor changes after further work.

AUD $100
Paid Inspection · approximately 30 minutes · non-member reference price
The paid non-member reference is AUD $100 for approximately 30 minutes. Describe a wet window reveal and confirm scope against inspection pricing; additional rooms or services are not automatically included.
The Corporate survey reference is AUD $0, approximately 30 minutes, only in applicable cases confirmed beforehand. Ask whether your Reservoir enquiry qualifies; this is not free inspection for everyone.
RESERVOIR · INSPECTION ENQUIRIES
Confirm the address and access
Provide your Reservoir address and identify a wet window reveal. Use the areas directory for navigation. Confirm appointment availability directly; a location listing does not promise a nearby office.
Questions before your inspection
Should I photograph droplets before wiping them?
If safely visible, a dated photograph can preserve their location. Also explain when they appear and whether the room was recently used.
Do dry afternoon windows rule out a moisture problem?
Describe both morning and afternoon observations. Conditions can change through the day; one dry visit cannot reconstruct the earlier wet period.
Is water on the glass the same as damp plaster?
Point out the glass, frame and reveal separately. Their visible conditions provide different observations and should not be combined into one claim.
What if spots are behind the window trim?
Explain that the trim conceals part of the surface. Ordinary visible inspection does not include removing it or clearing hidden material.
Can every part of a wet window reveal be checked?
Inspection around a wet window reveal is limited to agreed visible access. Identify obstructions beside the window surround; concealed cavities and unsafe high areas cannot be treated as inspected.
