⚠️ Heads up, Queensland property owners: AFAC's spring bushfire outlook has almost the whole country — every state except the ACT — facing increased fire risk this season.
Dry soils, a strong El Niño, and built-up vegetation from recent seasons mean it's worth getting your property ready now, before the heat really sets in.
And you don't need to be near the fire front to be affected. Smoke can travel hundreds of kilometres and work its way into homes through gaps around doors, windows and vents. A few simple steps now make a big difference:
✅ Seal gaps and check door and window seals
✅ Stock MERV 13 air-con filters if your system can take them
✅ Plan a "cleaner air room" with a HEPA air cleaner
✅ Photograph your home and contents while everything is intact

If fire or smoke damage does happen, our team is available 24/7 across South East Queensland. 📞 07 3267 7068

Did you see this? An insurer was just fined $2 million after a family's storm-damaged home was left waiting on a claim decision for THREE YEARS. By the time it was sorted, the house was wrecked by mould and had to be written off completely. 😳
The lesson for anyone dealing with storm or water damage: don't wait on your insurance claim to get help started. Mould doesn't wait either.

Found mould in your home? Don't panic, and don't scrub it yet.
Mould needs moisture to grow, so the real fix starts with finding and stopping the source. Painting over it or dry-scrubbing it can spread spores through your property and the mould will often come back.
Our short video covers the signs to look for, what NOT to do, and what professional mould remediation involves.
Survey. Mitigate. Restore. Pircsa: peace of mind, backed by over 48 years of insurance and property damage restoration experience.

Did you know most home insurance policies DON'T cover storm surge? 🌊

New research reported by ABC News puts 93,000 Queensland properties at risk of coastal flood damage by 2100, with a $214 billion damage bill. That's the highest of any state in Australia, and the Gold Coast is the single most exposed urban area in the country.

You can't stop the tide, but you can limit the damage when water gets in:
✅ Check your policy for flood, storm and "actions of the sea"
✅ Keep gutters and drains clear
✅ Don't ignore damp carpet, ceiling stains or musty smells
✅ Get moisture measured and dried fast, because mould can start within 24–48 hours

That musty smell in the spare room? Don't spray it and forget it.
Mould that comes back after a "fix" almost always means the moisture source behind it was never actually found. With Queensland's wet season landing 1 November, now's the time for a proper check — while it's still a small job.
5 early warning signs to check before the rain builds:
1️⃣ A musty smell in one room that's stronger than the rest of the house
2️⃣ Peeling or bubbling paint near bathrooms, laundries or exterior walls
3️⃣ Condensation that doesn't clear long after a shower
4️⃣ Extractor fans that run but don't seem to reduce humidity
5️⃣ Any area with a history of dampness, even if it was "fixed"
Save this post for when you need it.

Not all mould problems are visible. 👀
We were recently called out to a Brisbane C*D office where things looked fine on the surface — but our inspection told a different story. Moisture readings inside the walls hit as high as 53.6%, and once we opened things up we found mould growing between layers of plasterboard, in the wall cavity insulation, and soaked right through the floor cavity insulation.
Our team set up full containment, floor protection and HEPA air filtration, carried out a controlled strip-out, and cleaned the space thoroughly. The site has since passed independent verification with a clearance certificate — safe for staff to return to.
If your workplace has a musty smell or you've had water get in somewhere, it's worth having it properly checked, even if nothing looks wrong on the surface.

Storm season prep starts now, not when the first warning goes out.
Queensland's last storm season brought 11 tropical cyclones and no shortage of flash flooding and hail across the south east. Whatever this season brings, a few simple checks now can be the difference between a dry weekend and weeks of drying equipment in your lounge room.
Check out our 5-step storm season checklist below, and save this post for when you need it.
