Do you suspect you have an indoor mold problem due to obvious or hidden moisture, flood damage, or excessive indoor humidity? Do you experience asthma or other physical allergic symptoms while inside your home? Have you observed unpleasant odors, staining, or mold-like growth on walls, floors or personal items? If it is determined that you have an indoor mold growth situation is likely manageable! Despite recent media hysteria about it, Stachybotrys or "black mold" is relatively rare. Mold growth reservoirs appear in many colors and textures and there are several types of mold that commonly grow on water-damaged building materials and can release potentially allergenic and potentially toxigenic microscopic volatile organic compounds, mycotoxins, mold spores, and mycelial fragments into the air.
Molds grow everywhere, from the surface of Antarctic rocks to the inside windows of Soviet spacecraft. Molds are a part of nature. We are exposed to them every day. For most people molds only become a problem when they start growing indoors and the air inside a building becomes concentrated with allergenic spores and mycotoxins, the chemical toxins that some molds produce. Airborne mold spores coming from outside are not generally a problem, at least not until they find a damp indoor haven ( a roof or plumbing leak, or high indoor humidity) in which to start setting up colonies and reproducing.
