Friendly molds are a type of fungus that grows on plants and foods. Black mold is a greenish-black substance that can be found in damp and moist areas of your home. It is the end result of water damage. That’s why it is so important to carefully remove all traces of mold, and conduct a full mold inspection after any type of water damage to your home. The first 24 hours are the most important because that’s exactly the time mold needs to grow and spread.

They have the right tools, training, and safety equipment to kill all traces of mold. You should keep your bathroom as clean as possible at all times to prevent the growth of mold and mildew. Mold lives on organic surfaces in damp environments. Poor air circulation traps the spores in one area and prevents moisture from drying. The end result can cause major health issues to you and your entire family.
Here are a few types of molds:
Penicillium Fungus – This particular type of mold can be found in soil, food, cellulose, grains, paint, carpet, wallpaper, interior fiberglass duct insulation, and decaying vegetation. It can also lead to skin infection if not treated early.
Cladosporium – This mold is pigmented dark green to black in the front and black on the reverse with a velvety to powdery texture. It is most commonly found in indoor and outdoor air, decaying plants, woody plants, food, straw, soil, paint, textiles, and the surface of fiberglass duct liner in the interior of supply ducts. It can cause respiratory problems, such as asthma.
Fusarium – Fusarium is a common soil fungus and inhabitant on a wide array of plants. This fungus is often found in humidifiers and usually grows on water damaged carpets and a variety of building materials. The symptoms attributed to this type of mold include eye, skin and nail infections.
