What is Black Mold?

Home / Fire, Water & Mold / What is Black Mold?

Black mold is most likely to appear in areas of a home or office building that are warm, humid, and damp—as moisture is one of the main requirements for mold growth.

Toxic black mold or black mold is the term used most commonly for Stachybotrys Chartarum. The word “toxic” is associated with it because it produces toxins called mycotoxins that can cause some people to suffer the following symptoms:

  • Respiratory problems
  • Skin inflammation
  • Irritation of the mucous membranes
  • Damage to internal organs
  • Mental impairment
  • Tiredness
  • Nausea
  • Immune system suppression

The longer you are exposed to toxic black mold, the more it can damage your health.

What-is-Black-Mold

If you suspect that you have black mold in your home, office, or commercial building, it’s important to contact a professional black mold remediation company immediately. Do not try to remove it on your own as it may end up releasing spores and harmful toxins into the air.

Common Questions about Black Mold Removal and Remediation:

How do I know if I have Black Mold?

The color is the primary factor in determining if mold is actually black mold. Whereas most other molds are green or gray in color, the toxic black mold is a dark black. If you have discovered black mold in your home or office building, it is essential to act quickly.

Why should I remove Black Mold quickly?

Toxic black mold can have a serious effect on the health of anyone living or working in its presence. In addition, black mold will gradually eat away at porous surfaces, causing structural damage to your property if it infiltrates load-bearing beams and supports.

How do I remove Black Mold?

Experienced black mold removal companies have the knowledge and equipment to remove the mold with minimal disturbance, ensuring it doesn’t release large amounts of spores and mycotoxins throughout your property.
