Mould reduction in Adelaide

Why buildings here are at risk

Adelaide’s winter is cool and consistently damp, producing the same condensation mechanism as Melbourne over a slightly shorter season. Rainfall concentrates from May to September. The city’s low summer humidity means buildings are rarely designed with moisture management as a priority, which leaves them exposed when the wet months arrive.

The building stock

An unusually high proportion of heritage stone and solid-masonry commercial buildings through the CBD and North Adelaide, where there is no cavity and moisture moves directly through the wall. Post-war brick office and institutional stock with minimal insulation. Industrial and food-processing facilities in the northern suburbs.

What we get called for

Heritage buildings where remediation is constrained by conservation requirements and non-destructive treatment is often the only viable option. Winter condensation in schools and offices. Wine and food facilities with continuous humidity loads.
