Mould evidence & inspections for Sydney Inner West renters.

Federation terraces, Victorian semis and 1920s flats on the inner west are some of the worst-affected mould stock in Sydney. Single-skin brick walls, blocked subfloor vents and rear additions built over old yards drive the same patterns case after case.

Climate & housing context

Inner-west microclimate sits a degree or two warmer than the coast, but rear-of-block courtyards trap humidity and bathrooms in original wet areas frequently lack mechanical extraction. Autumn and early winter are the worst months for tenant call-outs.

What we see most in Sydney Inner West

  • Rising damp in single-skin brick walls of Federation terraces
  • Blocked or paved-over subfloor vents causing persistent floor-level damp
