Mould evidence & inspections for Wollongong & Illawarra renters.

Wedged between escarpment and ocean, the Illawarra sees some of the highest sustained humidity in NSW. Tenant mould complaints here cluster around 1950s–80s weatherboard cottages, fibro homes and lower-floor apartments along the coastal strip.

Climate & housing context

Escarpment shadow keeps morning sun off many west-side suburbs (Mt Keira, Mt Pleasant, Mangerton), driving cooler, damper interior conditions. Coastal humidity stays above 70 % most of the year. South-coast storms regularly drive wind-driven rain ingress.
