why is toxic mold ... toxic?

Some molds are “toxigenic.” This means the mold can produce mycotoxins which are the chemical toxins that naturally occur in fungi. This why you must remove mold immediatly.

While sometimes the terms “toxic mold” and “black mold” are used interchangeably, according to the CDC, “Color is not an indication of how dangerous a mold may be. Any mold should be removed and the moisture source that helped in grow should be removed.”

While mycotoxins evolved to help mold colonies defeat each other, it turns out they aren’t great for humans either. Exposure symptoms may vary, so always consult a doctor if you think your health has been affected.

What Causes Mold Growth?

Mold is a naturally occurring fungus whose mold spores live in the air. A water leak or breach, however, can create an environment that allows mold to not only settle, but thrive and grow.

Mold spores grows in wet, dark and humid places such as carpet, drywall, insulation and building materials. Left untreated, it will spread and damage the surface it is growing on. 


When Should You Do A Mold Inspection?

Any time you discover a leak or water intrusion, it is best to have a mold inspection completed by trained professionals ASAP because of mold’s ability to grow and thrive in even the smallest amounts of moisture.


What Is Mold? 

Mold is a naturally occurring fungus that spreads through the air with the help of mold spores that can be black, white, orange, green, or purple in color. What’s more, mold can live almost anywhere and on any surface where there’s moisture. 

Mold is usually harmless in small amounts; however,  mold can become more dangerous to the health of those living with it if allowed to thrive in a moist or damp space.


Is Mold Toxic? 

Mold is toxic to individuals who are sensitive or allergic to it and can cause health issues such as asthma, psychiatric illness, headaches, muscle pain and other respiratory symptoms.

Those exposed to mold spores on a regular basis, such as people living in a house or working in a space infested by mold, are more likely to suffer illness as a result of the intensity and duration of exposure.

In short, mold can be toxic to some people in some situations, which is why it is essential to remediate mold as soon as it is discovered.


How Dangerous Is Mold? 

Mold can lead to toxic poisoning and severe illness in some individuals who are sensitive to it and have been exposed for a long period, such as in an infested workplace or home.

Mold can be dangerous to some people as it can cause an allergic reaction similar to seasonal allergies.

For other folks, mold can cause significant health concerns including asthma, psychiatric problems, muscle pain, and bloody noses.


Mold Exposure Symptoms

You may first suspect mold exposure when you smell the musty, earthy odor given off by growing spores in damp spaces. 

If mold is present, you may experience symptoms like red, itchy eyes, coughing, wheezing, and sinusitis.

Mold exposure symptoms can vary depending on the individual, and the time and intensity of exposure.


Can You Cleanup Mold Yourself?

One of the biggest challenges for most property owners is finding all of the moisture in a space that has suffered a water intrusion, regardless of the size of the water event.

Fully cleaning up mold requires finding the moisture source and stopping it, cleaning and drying the affected area, and disinfecting it to ensure that mold will not return.

Even the smallest amount of moisture that is left untreated can lead to a mold infestation. 

Certified mold mitigation technicians make use of technology such as thermal cameras and moisture monitors to ensure that all moisture is discovered and dried properly.


What Is Involved In Mold Restoration?

Asbestos Abatement

Asbestos is commonly found in older buildings, both residential and. It can be found in numerous construction materials, including concrete, asphalt, roof shingles, pipes, siding, wall board, floor tiles, joint compounds, adhesive, and insulation. The US banned the use of asbestos in the manufacturing of most materials in 1978, which is why we assume properties constructed before 1980 could have asbestos present.
