Every setup is tailored to the environment and the level of contamination.
When Containment Is Required
“Containment is used when there is a risk of contamination spreading, including flood or water damage, mould remediation and biohazard or forensic-type work.”
Situations that require containment include:
- Flood damage and moisture intrusion
- Mould and airborne spores
- Sewage and backflow contamination
- Biohazard and trauma scenes
- Infectious disease control
- Smoke and soot particulates
- Silica dust and fine particulate remediation
If contaminants may spread through air, ventilation or movement, containment becomes essential.
Why Containment Matters
Containment is the foundation of safe and controlled remediation.
Without containment:
- Airborne contaminants may spread through the property
- Mould spores may travel to unaffected rooms
- Flood contamination may aerosolise during drying
- Biohazard particles may reach safe areas
- Indoor air quality may worsen
- Remediation costs may increase
“We close off the affected areas to create a safe zone for the non-contaminated areas.”
Why Containment is Essential in Any Remediation Project
Containment is crucial in projects involving mould, water damage, biohazards or trauma scenes. Without it, contaminants may escape into unaffected areas, causing the issue to spread further and become significantly more difficult to manage. As part of our Containment and Risk Mitigation across NSW, we isolate the affected zone from the rest of the property, establishing clean and dirty pathways that limit movement and airborne transfer. This structured approach protects people occupying the building and reduces the likelihood of additional contamination or secondary damage.
Our containment methods include installing plastic sheeting barriers, sealing HVAC pathways and creating controlled access points. We use HEPA air scrubbers to filter the air both inside and outside the contained zone, which ensures airborne particulates are captured before they can transfer into adjacent areas. This is especially important in environments such as healthcare facilities, aged care centres, schools and commercial spaces where IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) is critical. By establishing proper containment from the outset, we ensure remediation work can proceed safely, efficiently and with minimal disruption to occupants.

Containment Strategies for Healthcare, Childcare and High-Risk Facilities
Some environments require an elevated level of care due to vulnerable occupants, strict health regulations and high sensitivity to airborne contamination. Our Containment and Risk Mitigation across NSW is specifically adapted for healthcare clinics, aged care homes, childcare centres, laboratories and other essential service settings. These facilities cannot risk cross-contamination, which is why our technicians implement infection control protocols and enhanced HEPA filtration to maintain strict separation between work zones and operational areas.
We begin by mapping the site and identifying the rooms or corridors most at risk. Once defined, we install structured containment systems that restrict air movement and particle transfer, while ensuring the facility can continue operating safely. For sensitive environments, we may create multi-stage decontamination chambers or implement directional airflow strategies supported by HEPA filtration units. Staff are briefed on safe pathways around the work zones, helping maintain order and compliance during the remediation process. Whether the risk involves mould spores, flood bacteria, biohazard contamination or airborne debris, proper containment keeps people safe and protects the facility’s compliance obligations.
Our Containment Setup Process
- Identify Affected Zones
We determine the containment area by visual inspection. Only the affected areas are closed off.
- Install Physical Barriers
We seal the work zone using plastic sheeting, framed barriers, zippered access points and sealed HVAC systems to prevent airborne transfer.
- Deploy HEPA Air Scrubbers
We install air scrubbers within the containment zone to capture anything airborne. We also have air scrubbers outside the containment zone, just in case anything leaves the area.
- Create Controlled Access Pathways
A controlled entry point or a decontamination chamber ensures safe movement in and out of the work area.
- Apply Infection Control Protocols
For high-risk sites, such as aged care or healthcare facilities, we implement enhanced infection control pathways.
- Monitor Conditions Throughout the Project
General laboratory testing may be used when dealing with mould or biohazards to confirm safe re-entry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What usually causes mould inside homes or workplaces?
Mould is commonly caused by leaks, flooding, high humidity, stale indoor air and building materials that remain wet for more than a few days. Moisture trapped inside walls or ceilings often creates hidden mould growth.
Do you offer testing and laboratory results?
Yes. Testing may be done before and after remediation, especially for insurance requirements or health-sensitive environments. While not always necessary, it is available upon request.
How long does Mould Remediation across NSW take?
Most standard jobs are completed within 1–3 days. Flood-affected or moisture-heavy environments may require extended structural drying.
Can I stay in my home during the remediation process?
In most cases, yes — but containment zones may restrict access to certain rooms. For severe mould contamination, temporary relocation may be recommended.
Will the mould come back?
Not if the underlying moisture problem is resolved. Our process addresses both mould removal and the source, significantly reducing future recurrence.
