Mould Inspection Delahey
GLASS AND WALL, SEPARATE CLUES
Morning water on a window can be obvious while the wall beside it changes more slowly. For Delahey, describe both observations and how the room is used. An inspection considers accessible finish condition and moisture information without treating wet glass as proof of the wall’s cause or a complete ventilation diagnosis.

Next questions explained
WHAT YOU NOTICE
What to record around the opening
Describe timing and drying rather than assuming the visible water explains every nearby mark.
Visible spotting
Identify the wall material and spread beside the glazing. Colour cannot determine species or the condition behind the finish.
A musty smell
Mention when the room smells and whether the opening is used. Odour does not locate concealed growth.
Condensation
Note when glass becomes wet and how long it remains so. That observation is useful context, not a source certification.
Stained paint
Give any known rain incident or earlier repair. An old mark may remain after the moisture pattern changes.
Persistent dampness
Explain whether the wall stays wet when the glass has dried. This may raise a separate repair or investigation question.
Growth after wiping
Record which surface was cleaned and when. Clearing glass or wiping paint does not establish that a source was corrected.
VISIBLE · ACCESSIBLE · DISCUSSED
A room-focused assessment
Our inspection service considers visible accessible evidence and moisture observations together.
Review the current finish
The assessment considers reachable walls, ceilings and surroundings. Damaged coatings and furniture beside the opening affect visibility. It does not assume opening wall layers or inspecting every component of the window assembly.
Consider hygrometer observations
A professional hygrometer supports room-air humidity information alongside room history. Readings cannot certify ventilation installation, prove a frame watertight or determine every concealed layer’s condition.
Discuss what remains uncertain
Ask which observations support a follow-up question and what information will be supplied. Further trade assessment may be necessary. No thermal survey, laboratory analysis or signed window report is promised.
READINGS IN CONTEXT
Use observations across ordinary days
Record when wet glass appears, what was happening in the room and whether the wall changed too. A short dated account can help explain differences. Do not assume one morning’s condition represents the room’s entire moisture history.
Include known repairs and any surface that remains damp. A clear window and a dry wall are not interchangeable findings. Assessment should distinguish routine moisture context from a possible defect requiring separate investigation.
ROOMS & SURFACES
Areas to describe
Bathroom
Mention extraction and wet surfaces separately if another room is involved.
Kitchen
Describe cooking moisture only where relevant to the actual concern.
Bedroom
Give furniture access and ordinary use around the affected opening.
Ceiling
Report an upper patch and its own history rather than merging it with glass wetness.
Wall
Identify coating condition and the accessible extent beside the reveal.
Leak-affected area
Provide confirmed incidents and repairs without inferring them from condensation alone.
THE NEXT DECISION
Choose later work from the evidence
Suitable accessible findings may inform a separate removal scope. Inspection does not include cleaning the window, treating growth or repairing a frame. The next decision should reflect the material and any unresolved wetness.
For several structural finishes, discuss remediation separately. Ventilation or glazing repairs remain distinct from treatment. An inspection cannot promise permanent prevention or certify concealed construction from the visible room.
PRICES & APPLICABILITY
Price for the enquiry
Paid Inspection
AUD $100
Approximately 30 minutes · non-member reference price
The paid inspection non-member reference price is AUD 100, with approximately 30 minutes planned. Describe the opening and observations before booking. The fee concerns assessment, not a guaranteed window diagnosis or treatment package.
Free survey / Corporate
AUD $0
Approximately 30 minutes · applicable cases only
An AUD 0 corporate survey applies only to eligible cases confirmed before attendance. A household condensation concern is not automatically free. Review the price page and ask which category suits the proposed appointment.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
Questions about your inspection
Does wet glass prove the wall’s cause?
No. Glass wetness is one observation; the wall’s condition and history need their own consideration. Inspection should not assign every nearby mark to condensation without assessing the accessible evidence.
Will the ventilation system be certified?
No installation or performance certification is promised. Hygrometer observations provide room context, while a suspected ventilation fault may require separate assessment by the appropriate trade.
Can a window leak be ruled out?
A complete source ruling is not guaranteed by this accessible inspection. Describe rain changes and repair history. The opening may need its own professional investigation regardless of the glass’s ordinary wetness.
Is wiping the glass part of AUD 100?
No cleaning or treatment is included in the paid inspection scope. Any later removal, repair or decorating is separately considered and agreed after the observations and material condition are discussed.
What should I record before the visit?
Note timing, drying, room use and whether the wall changes along with the glass. An overall photograph helps describe access. Leave uncertain causes unknown rather than naming a diagnosis in advance.
Will I receive laboratory moisture results?
No laboratory testing is promised. Ask what information will be supplied for the enquiry. A professional hygrometer supports observations, not species analysis or complete clearance of hidden materials.
