By now, you've heard it: black mold is dangerous. Or is it? Many sensationalized news reports have warned about "toxic mold, " but these reports can be alarming and often contain misinformation. When you're dealing with mold, it's best to have the facts. Stachybotrys chartarum is the species of mold most commonly called black mold, and it certainly does produce allergens and irritants. However, S. charatum is not unique in that regard-many other species of mold can both be black and produce allergens and irritants.

Local and state laws may require a specific inspection and documentation protocol based on the size of the affected area. We can advise you on this process, providing guidance based on your unique situation. If your property has water damage, it can become a breeding ground for mold. In optimal conditions, mold growth can occur as quickly as 48-72 hours after being exposed to moisture; in some cases, it can take longer. When spore counts are elevated, it can trigger allergies or other health effects in some people.
