Mould on Ceiling

Ceiling mould is more than an ugly stain. It means moisture has crept where it shouldn’t—usually from a hidden plumbing or roof leak. Left alone, that damp spot can weaken drywall, peel paint, and trigger asthma attacks. Same Day Trades sends fully licenced, police-checked plumbers to homes in Adelaide, Perth, and Brisbane the same day you call. We track down the leak, remove the mould, dry the ceiling, and give you simple steps to keep it from coming back.

Why Mould Forms on Ceilings

Hidden Plumbing Leaks

A pinhole in a copper pipe or a loose PEX fitting can drip for months inside the ceiling cavity. The insulation stays damp and mould spores flourish.

Poor Bathroom Ventilation

Steam rises during hot showers. Without a strong exhaust fan, that vapour lands on the cooler ceiling and feeds mould colonies.

Roof Plumbing Faults

Damaged flashing, cracked tiles, or a blocked box gutter let rainwater track into the ceiling. Mould often shows up far from the leak, making DIY detection tricky.

Everyday Condensation

In humid Australian summers, chilled air-conditioning can drop the ceiling surface below the dew point. Water droplets form night after night, soaking the plasterboard.

Fast fact: Once moisture is present, mould needs only 24–48 hours to start growing.

Signs You Need Professional Help

Our 4-Step Mould Removal & Prevention Process

Leak Detection

We use moisture metres, thermal cameras, and tracer gas to pinpoint the source—whether it’s a loose shower waste, a cracked pipe, or roof-gutter overflow.

On-the-Spot Repairs

Our vans carry copper, PVC, and PEX fittings, so most leaks are fixed during the same visit. You won’t wait days for a return trip.

Mould Treatment

We remove visible colonies, scrub stains, and apply hospital-grade antimicrobials that kill spores without harsh odours. If plasterboard is too far gone, we cut it out and safely dispose of the damage.

Future-Proofing

We upgrade exhaust fans, insulate cold water lines, and leave a humidity control checklist. Prevention costs far less than another outbreak.

Lachlan and his team did an excellent job installing my new hot water system, from the initial meeting to the completion of the job, Lachlan and his team were friendly and professional in their field of work, having changed from gas to electric hot water, Lachlan and his team removed all the old gas lines and cleaned up the remaining lines to leave a clean finish, very happy with the service, if you need a new hot water system, gas or electric, I highly recommend samedaytrades.
