"They came as a crew of 8 hardworking individuals, and worked for a day and a half!! The owner and sales manager were very informative & helpful, even after their work was complete. They even helped us find a different mold testing company who had more reasonable rates for the final Clearance Test."

What is Black Mold - About Stachybotrys Chartarum
Stachybotrys chartarum, which is an official name for mold commonly known as “black mold” or “toxic mold,” is a type of fungus that thrives in damp, shadowy, humid environments.
You can often find it lurking in water-damaged buildings, particularly on cellulose-rich materials like drywall and wallpaper.
However, despite its name, black mold isn’t always black; it can appear greenish-black or even have a blue-green tint, especially when growing on wood surfaces.
Black mold is a slow grower and doesn’t compete well with other molds. This means that when we spot it, we know there’s been a persistent moisture problem.
It’s not something that pops up overnight after a small spill—we’re talking about ongoing issues like leaky pipes, poor ventilation, or other water damage that wasn’t properly addressed.
Hence, you should call us to properly mitigate both the moisture source AND black mold at once.
Is Black Mold Dangerous?
We get this question a lot, and the answer isn’t as straightforward as you might think.
While black mold has been linked to various health issues, it’s important to note that not all strains produce harmful toxins. That being said, we always err on the side of caution when it comes to mold in your home or business.
In our years of experience, we’ve seen people experience a range of symptoms when exposed to black mold. These can include coughing, sneezing, itchy eyes, and skin irritation.
For those with existing respiratory issues like asthma, mold exposure can be particularly problematic. Many people report worsening of their asthma symptoms or even new breathing difficulties.
While the scientific community is still debating the extent of black mold’s health impacts, we believe it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
If you suspect you have a mold problem, it’s crucial to address it promptly, and that’s why we’re here.
Our Black Mold Removal Process
Our team is equipped with the right tools and has undergone extensive training to handle mold safely and effectively. Here’s a quick rundown of our process:
- First, we conduct a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the mold problem. We’re not just looking at surface-level issues; we’re searching for hidden mold behind walls or under flooring.
- We then use specialized equipment to contain the mold and prevent spores from spreading to unaffected areas of your property. We then remove the mold using environmentally-friendly products that are tough on mold but safe for your family and pets.
- After removal, we focus on addressing the root cause of the mold growth. This usually involves repairing leaks, as large black mold problems usually come from them.
So, what are you waiting for? Call us for black mold removal today!
Preventing Future Mold Growth
Besides doing the job, we also want to teach you how to prevent mold growth in the first place.
Controlling moisture is key. We recommend keeping indoor humidity levels below 50%; a good dehumidifier can work well for this, but you also need good ventilation.
Make sure to use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens, and fix any leaks as soon as you notice them. If you experience water damage, it’s crucial to dry out the affected area within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth.
If the leak goes out of hand, you can always call us for water damage restoration.
Regular home maintenance can go a long way in preventing mold. Check your roof, windows, and pipes regularly for leaks.
That’s it! So, if you need mold remediation done by professionals, we’re always just a phone call away.
