What is Black Mold?
Black mold refers to several species of mold that are dark green or black in appearance. The most common species of black mold is Stachybotrys chartarum. Often referred to as “toxic”, many black molds release mycotoxins. Effects of mycotoxins include respiratory symptoms, circulatory symptoms, skin problems, reproductive system problems, vision / eye problems, immune system disorders, even death depending on the amount of mold and amount of exposure. The CDC does not recommend mold testing. All molds should be treated the same with respect to potential health risks and removal. Black mold is not only a health hazard. Moldy conditions have also been known to cause rot and structural damage. Thriving in warm, moist environments, black mold is often discovered in bathrooms (bath, shower, toilet) kitchens, attics, crawl spaces, and basements. Mold can also impact the value of your home.

Black mold removal costs can vary widely. The amount of mold will determine the black mold removal costs. While a small amount of localized mold might be okay for a DIY cleaning approach, be sure to wear personal protective equipment. Unfortunately lingering moisture problems and ineffective cleaners typically means black mold growth is not completely eradicated and will soon return. Often you are better off having professional black mold removal services conduct a thorough inspection.

Answering Your Mold Remediation Questions
Is mold really dangerous?
Absolutely, mold is very dangerous. The Centers for Disease Control and other health agencies warn mold spores can cause serious health risks for people with breathing problems. And certain types of mold, including black mold (stachybotrys chartarum) can cause serious health problems, even in healthy people.
How do I get rid of a mold infestation?
DO NOT attempt to clean or mitigate areas affected by mold. You can unknowingly spread mold spores to other parts of the structure, worsening the infestation. One of our trained mold remediation specialists can conduct a visual inspection and other tests to assess the problem. When the extent of the infestation is assessed, your mold remediation specialist will recommend a plan to remove the mold and prevent its return.
Is mold damage covered by insurance?
It is likely that at least some of the mold damage is covered by your homeowner’s insurance. It often depends on the source of the damage. Your best option is to make an appointment for a free inspection. We can help you navigate the insurance question once we inspect the damage.
