What is Black Mold?
Black mold, or Stachybotrys chartarum, is a member of the fungi family that thrives in moist, dark locations where it can easily spread to neighboring walls, floorboards and structures that have low nitrogen and high cellulose content (i.e. common building materials such as drywall). While black mold has rendered the myth of being “toxic,” the Center for Disease Control (CDC) explains that the mold itself actually isn’t toxic, but can emit toxins into the air. So, before you go all-out “HGTV” style by smashing your sink and ripping up floor tiles, it is important to know if you have black mold lurking around. If you do find this slippery, greenish-black nuisance plaguing your home, contact the black mold removal service team at Soil-Away, where we will work with your insurance company to ensure a smooth remediation process.
Visit the CDC for more information on black mold.
What Causes Black Mold?
As a part of your home renovation project, you begin ripping-up some floor tiles and you see some water damage and what appears to be black mold on the floorboards. It is later determined that the water damage was caused from a leaking pipe underneath the bathtub, which led to a breeding ground for black mold. However, what other signs do black mold present? Not all black mold is easy to find, and I’m sure you don’t want to wonder around your basement or bathroom looking for black mold spores. A few other signs to look for are:
- A musty smell, such as dirt or decaying material.
- Experiencing allergy-like symptoms such as coughing or sneezing.
- Seeing an area with high humidity may indicate black mold growth.
- Condensation or water leaks can also lead to black mold growth.
