Don't mess with mold, call SERVPRO!

Stachybotrys chartarum is the type of mold often called “black mold”.

How Do I Tell If It’s Black Mold In My Home?

Since many types of mold can produce allergens and irritants, you should contact a qualified mold remediation company like SERVPRO regardless of the color or type of mold. In many cases, multiple types of mold can exist in the same house or structure. If you suspect that you have a mold problem, contact a SERVPRO Franchise Professional immediately. 

What Do I Need To Know About Mold?

When water intrudes into your property, mold growth can start in as little as 48 hours. Consider the following mold facts:

  • Mold spores are microscopic, they float along in the air, and may enter your home through windows, doors, or AC/heating systems or even come indoors on your clothing or a pet.
  • Mold spores love moisture. Mold spores can quickly grow when exposed to water. 
  • Before mold remediation can begin, any sources of water or moisture must be addressed and dried out. Otherwise, the mold may return.
  • Mold can often produce a strong, musty odor.
