We are the number 1 choice for Mold inspection, testing, abatement and removal.
Mold is a type of fungus that thrives wherever moisture and oxygen are present. While beneficial outdoors for breaking down organic matter, mold indoors can pose serious health risks.
Mold typically falls into three main categories:
- Allergenic Mold: Common indoor allergens, these molds aren’t toxic but can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
- Pathogenic Mold: Known to cause infections and illnesses, pathogenic molds are particularly dangerous for those with compromised immune systems or pre-existing health conditions.
- Toxigenic Mold: The most hazardous type, these molds produce toxins that can lead to severe health effects and may be life-threatening if exposure is prolonged.
Understanding these mold types highlights the importance of keeping indoor spaces dry and well-ventilated to reduce health risks.
Our main focus is the safety of you and your family. Contact us today to schedule a mold inspection or to learn more about our mold removal and abatement services.
Common Types of Indoor Mold
- Chaetomium: This allergenic mold frequently appears in homes affected by flooding or significant water leaks. Initially, it may look like a fuzzy white growth but can darken over time, often mistaken for black mold.
- Stachybotrys: A toxigenic mold commonly found in damp areas and ventilation systems. Stachybotrys chartarum, also known as "toxic black mold," releases toxins and should only be removed by licensed professionals. Effective moisture control is essential to prevent its recurrence.
- Alternaria: Often found in bathrooms and around damp windows, this allergenic mold can cause reactions such as hay fever and asthma. It may also impact those with weakened immune systems, triggering more severe symptoms.
- Ulocladium: Frequently found in damp areas, appliances, and on surfaces like carpet and drywall, Ulocladium is associated with water damage. Although dark in color, it’s not as hazardous as Stachybotrys but should still be addressed to prevent allergenic reactions.
- Aspergillus and Penicillium: These pathogenic molds are often located in HVAC systems and water-damaged buildings. Some Aspergillus species can trigger allergies and respiratory issues, while others produce aflatoxins, harmful chemicals linked to cancer. While Penicillium gave rise to antibiotics, any growth of it indoors can pose health risks.
Knowing these common molds and their potential health effects highlights the importance of addressing water damage and maintaining a dry, well-ventilated indoor environment.

What to Expect After a Mold Inspection
If our mold inspection reveals mold, the next step is to confirm its presence and type through lab testing with both air and surface samples.
We collect two types of samples: air samples and surface swabs. Air samples, taken with spore traps, are particularly helpful in detecting mold in hidden areas, such as behind walls or baseboards. These samples are then compared to an outdoor baseline, allowing us to determine if your property meets safe, legally acceptable mold levels.
Knowing the standard mold count for a given area helps us assess whether your environment is safe or if mold remediation is necessary. For visible mold, surface swabs are often used. Surface swabs are especially effective in identifying toxic molds, like black mold, which can be harmful to individuals with respiratory issues or weakened immune systems.
Before any testing, a thorough inspection by a mold remediation specialist is recommended. Often, a professional inspection can determine whether testing is even necessary, potentially saving you the cost of lab tests.
It’s also important to note that not all mold types are hazardous. Many household molds are non-toxic and don’t require specialized cleaning. A simple mold test can help identify if the mold in your home poses a risk or if it can be safely removed with basic cleaning methods.
