Mould and ventilation in a Sunbury rental
Two of the 15 standards that older Sunbury rentals most often fail.
In short: A rental must be free of mould and damp caused by the building, and wet rooms need ventilation. Older bathrooms are where this fails.
What the standards require
No mould or damp caused by the building or its structure, and ventilation in bathrooms, showers, toilets and laundries.
Where we find it
Mould on bathroom ceilings, failed shower sealant and fans that vent into the roof space.
Finding the cause
Moisture readings and a look at the likely source show whether it is a building issue.
Fixing it
Reseal, repair the leak or fix the exhaust, then clean. The report lists each step.
