What is Mold?

All you need to know about Mold

Mold is an airborne fungus that is everywhere in the world around us in the form of mold spores. These spores can only be seen under a microscope and do not cause an immediate threat to your home or health. However, when the spores are in the right environment they will quickly evolve into the harmful mold you are familiar with and spread throughout the area.

So, what does mold need to grow?

In order for mold to grow, there needs to be a source of moisture and organic material like wood, drywall, ceiling tiles, carpet, paper, cardboard, or natural fabrics. If the moisture continues, the mold will grow rapidly and spread throughout the affected area. Mold will grow in long, strands, which will appear to look fuzzy and it may appear in a handful of colors – blue, green, black, and grey. However, it’s important to note that the color of the mold does not determine the specific strand of mold.

Black Mold

Stachbotrys chartarum, otherwise known as black mold, is the most dangerous type of mold. This type of mold is typically a greenish-black color, however, it can appear many other colors as well so, if there is black-colored mold in your home it does not particularly mean it is this black mold. The growth of black mold is most commonly associated with sewage backups and flooding because of all the bacteria present in this water. The biggest reason that black mold is the most dangerous type of mold is because it’s difficult to identify with the human eye. It really takes microscopic evaluation to actually identify the mold. Symptoms of black mold are very similar to season allergies – runny nose, couching, itchy eyes. However, if people with depleted immune systems may experience upper respiratory issues upon exposure.

How To Identify Mold

Mold can grow anywhere there is moisture and organic material, so if there is any water damage in the home there is probably mold growth. Most molds can be seen by the eye, but maybe located in hard to reach places, like behind the dishwasher. Mildew is the most visible type of mold and usually appears as small black spots that grow into larger colonies. Mildew appears in the grout lines around the shower, or on damp walls. If you notice a musty odor in the home this is a huge indicator that mold is present.
