What Is Black Mold?
We have all heard the stories of how toxic and dangerous “black mold” can be. Without proper knowledge these reports can be very alarming and confusing. As your restoration and cleaning service, we make it our duty to keep you informed.
The common reference, “black mold’ refers to Stachybotrys chartarum. Although there is a specified mold, it produces the same allergens and irritants as other molds. You should always take precaution when confronted by any mold, avoiding all contact with affected areas. SERVPRO is available to help 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Understanding Mold
When water intrudes into your property, mold growth can start in as little as 48 hours. Consider the following mold facts:
- Mold is present almost everywhere, indoors and outdoors.
- Mold spores are microscopic, float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even hitch a ride indoors on your clothing or a pet.
- Mold spores thrive on moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow into colonies when exposed to water. These colonies may produce allergens and irritants.
- Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed. Otherwise the mold may return.
- Mold often produces a strong, musty odor, and that odor can lead you to possible mold problem areas.
- Even higher-than-normal indoor humidity can support mold growth. Keep indoor humidity below 45 percent.
