Mould Testing Costs

Our On-Site Inspection pinpoints mould risks with precision:

  • Small Homes (e.g., apartments): $580 + sampling (5–10 samples at $130 each). Includes 5+ hour inspection, lab analysis, 60+ page report, 1 week of email support.

  • Medium Homes (e.g., 3-bedroom houses): $780 + sampling ($130 each, 8–15 samples). Covers larger areas with detailed causation report.

  • Large/Complex Properties: $930–$1,030 + sampling ($130 each, 15+ samples). Ideal for pre-renovation or significant health concerns.

  • Post-Remediation Verification (PRV): Confirms successful remediation with clearance testing. Price on application—based on property size, sample count, and scope of testing.

Factors Affecting Testing Costs

  • Home Size: Larger homes require more time, samples, and detail.

  • Sampling Needs: Lab analysis (air + surface) is $130 per sample via NATA-accredited labs. Choose fewer samples for basic confirmation or more for full remediation planning.

  • Health Concerns: Individuals with CIRS or mould sensitivities often choose more extensive testing.

  • Flexible to Your Needs: Every household is different—testing is tailored to your health, priorities, and budget.

Mould Removal Costs

We refer you to IICRC-certified remediators, with typical industry costs:

  • Small Areas (e.g., bathroom tiles): $100–$500

  • Small Rooms (e.g., bedrooms): $500–$2,000

  • Half House: $3,500–$6,000

  • Entire House: $6,000+ for extensive remediation

Note: Jess’s reports guide remediators to fix underlying moisture issues, preventing costly regrowth.

Factors Affecting Removal Costs

  • Physical Removal Required: Mould must be physically removed—not just treated with sprays/fogging.

  • Building Material Removal: Damaged porous materials (plasterboard, insulation, MDF) may need replacement.

  • Location of Contamination: Hard-to-reach areas (walls, subfloors, ceilings, HVAC) increase costs.

  • Extent and Severity: Larger contamination requires specialised containment, PPE, and equipment.

  • Additional Equipment/Services: Air testing, HEPA vacuuming, and dehumidifiers may add costs.

  • Discuss with Your Remediator: Costs vary—always confirm with your chosen professional.

  • Independent Inspection: In line with IICRC S520 standards, MouldWise inspections remain independent from remediation to ensure unbiased recommendations.
