Cyclone Alfred brought intense rainfall, high humidity and lingering moisture to homes across Brisbane and beyond. When warm air gets trapped indoors and combines with damp conditions, it creates the perfect breeding ground for mould – especially in and around your air conditioning system.
Monitor and Control Indoor Humidity
- Mould loves moisture. Keeping your home’s humidity below 60% is essential, especially after heavy weather.
- Run your AC in dry mode to pull moisture out of the air.
- Use dehumidifiers in moisture prone rooms like bathrooms, laundries and bedrooms.
- Seal drafts, but allow fresh air circulation when safe to do so.
If you’re unsure whether your system is working effectively post-cyclone, our team can inspect and optimise your settings.
Clean and Service Your Air Conditioning System
Air conditioners can collect dust, moisture and organic material — all of which feed mould if left unchecked.
- Clean or replace filters regularly (especially after weather events).
- Clear drain lines and check condensate trays for standing water.
- Look for any signs of black spots or musty odours – especially around vents and ducting.
An Advanced system clean with Advanced Air will help remove any hidden contaminants and restore safe airflow throughout your space.

Don’t Ignore Water Damage
Even small leaks or water entry from storm events can become mould hotspots within days.
- Dry any water-damaged areas thoroughly and as quickly as possible.
- Remove saturated items or building materials where needed.
- Seek professional restoration or mould treatment if you suspect hidden damage.
We’re happy to coordinate with your other trades or insurers where air conditioning components are affected.
Maximise Ventilation
Don’t let stale air build up inside.
- Use exhaust fans in kitchens, bathrooms and laundries.
- Crack windows when humidity levels outside are lower than inside.
- Ensure your return air and supply vents aren’t blocked by furniture or storage.
Good airflow is essential to preventing condensation and stagnation that can lead to mould growth – especially in ducted systems.
Mould might seem like a small issue, but it can affect your health, damage your home and compromise your air conditioner’s performance. With Queensland’s storms and post-cyclone humidity hanging around, now is the time to act.
