Meet Jess — a mould inspector who's been through it herself
Hi, I'm Jess.
My way into this work wasn't planned — it started with my own home. In 2022, a hidden bathroom leak was quietly fuelling mould in the ceiling below. Nothing visible, no smell. My husband was fine, but my son and I — who share the genetic susceptibility that affects about 1 in 4 people — got really unwell with CIRS.
Finding a good, independent inspector was its own ordeal, and the lack of real support for mould illness floored me. So I left my career in government investigations, got certified, and built MouldWise to be the calm, honest guide I wish I'd had.
Today I'm an ACES Advanced Mould Testing Technician, InterNACHI-certified, an IICRC Water Restoration Technician and a committee member of the Australasian Society of Building Biologists — with a science degree behind me and, just as importantly, lived experience of exactly what you might be going through.
I'll help you cut through the fear and the noise and make calm, practical decisions about your home and your health.
Services
-
On-Site Inspection
Currently paused — I'm on maternity leave until 2027.
My in-person inspections (full on-site assessment, specialised diagnostic equipment, sampling, accredited lab analysis and a detailed report with a clear remediation work plan) will be back in 2027. In the meantime, I can help you remotely — see below. -
CONSULTATIONS & REPORT REVIEWS
(remote — available now)
Wherever you are, I can help you make calm, money-saving decisions about mould and CIRS — over Zoom or by email. We can talk through your home, your symptoms, testing and remediation strategy, or I can review your inspection report before you spend a cent on remediation. Options from $90, bookings via the Services section. -
Post-Remediation Verification (PRV)
Currently paused — I'm on maternity leave until 2027.
Independent confirmation that your remediation team has genuinely returned the affected areas and contents to a normal Condition 1 environment.
WHY people trust MOULDWISE
Independent. I have no ties to any remediation company, so my only job is your best interest — not selling you a demolition.
Lived experience. I've had CIRS, remediated my own home, and come out the other side. I know how overwhelming this feels, because I've been there.
Genuinely qualified. Advanced-certified mould testing technician, water restoration technician, and building-biology committee member.
Calm and practical. Mould is almost always a moisture problem, and it's usually more manageable than the internet makes it feel. I'll help you see the wood for the trees.
on-site inspections back 2027
My in-person mould inspections and post-remediation verification are paused while I'm on maternity leave. When they return in 2027, they'll continue to include a full on-site assessment with specialised diagnostic equipment — thermal imaging, moisture mapping and targeted environmental sampling — accredited lab analysis, and a detailed report with a clear remediation work plan. Done independently, with no ties to any remediation company, because a proper inspection should only ever answer to you.
In the meantime, I can help you remotely — book an online consult or report review above, or send an enquiry and I'll point you in the right direction.
General symptoms of mould exposure may include:
RESPIRATORY AND ALLERGIC AFFECTS
(such as in nose, throat, lungs)
CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE SYNDROME
RECURRENT INFECTIONS
(such as pneumonia, bronchitis, common colds, tonsillitis, sinusitis, ear infections)
JOINT AND/OR MUSCLE PAIN
SKIN ISSUES LIKE ECZEMA, DERMATITIS AND HIVES

I honestly can’t thank you enough, Jess. You went above and beyond and did such an incredible job identifying the mould in our toxic rental. We had previously been told by an insurance company inspector that everything was fine but deep down, I knew something wasn’t right. You took the time, were so thorough, and truly cared about the health side of things, not just ticking boxes.

We cannot recommend Jess enough! We had her fly out to New Zealand to throughly test our home. The cost of mould testing in nz is horrendous and not done properly. Jess has a wealth of knowledge and is a CIRS sufferer like myself so she knows how important it is to get accurate testing done throughout.
