Types of Mold
Mold is something that exists all around us, but the difficulties don't stop there. The reason that we say this is because there isn't only one type of mold to worry about because there are many different types that can pose a threat to your home. This is why the task at hand is often too difficult to deal with on your own without the relevant knowledge to know what type of mold you are dealing with. So if you would prefer to have the problem taken care of by people that understand how to deal with different types of mold, then contact us.
Alternaria
When it comes to mold, there are a few types that are more common to find in homes. One of those types is Alternaria, and it should be dealt with as soon as it is identified. Generally speaking, this type of mold is found in areas where moisture is present and dampness can occur, so it can usually be found in showers, below the sink, or even in a bathtub. So if you have started to notice some dark areas in any of the aforementioned places, then you should reach out to us so that we can evaluate the situation and offer you a solution.
Chaetomium
Another common type of mold that can be found in homes all across America is Chaetomium. The main reason for this type of mold occurring in your home is usually because of water damage that has occurred at one point in time, which was not properly dealt with. This type of mold can change color, and will usually start with white, then change to gray over time, and eventually become black mold. As you can imagine, this is not something that you would want in your home, and it is for that very reason that you should get in touch with us so that we can remove it.
Cladosporium
Many people think that mold only grows in areas that are warm and damp, and while it is something that happens often, there are also types of mold that can grow in a cold environment. One of these types of mold is known as Cladosporium. This can often be found in materials such as fabrics, including carpets and upholstery. This is an allergenic type of mold and can cause respiratory problems if left unchecked. It can also be found in cupboards, and can even cause skin irritations. So if you have found that this is the type of mold that you have in your home, then contact us.
Stachybotrys
When it comes to toxic mold, there is one type that you definitely want to steer clear of. Stachybotrys, which is also commonly referred to as black mold is toxigenic and can cause some serious allergic reactions. It also shows up in high moisture areas where dampness persists, so you should always keep an eye out in areas like the shower or a laundry room. Black mold is something that you never want to risk having in your home, so if you have noticed signs of this popping up, then call us immediately so that we can get started on working on a solution for you.
