Black Mold Removal

While there are many different species of mold that can grow in the home, the worst is called toxic black mold. More formally known as Stachybotrys chartarum, toxic black mold is incredibly dangerous to human health because of the mycotoxins it produces. Once this substance has been identified in your home, it is critical that you contact EB Mold Removal for professional black mold removal in Fremont.

The Health Risks of Black Mold

Because of the mycotoxins produced by black mold, humans can experience a number of toxic symptoms that range in nature from mildly irritating to life-threatening. They can include respiratory problems, circulatory problems, skin problems, vision problems, mental or neurological problems, immune system problems, reproductive system problems, digestive problems, and more. Some of the more common symptoms include allergy symptoms, tiredness, nausea, immune system suppression, respiratory problems, dizziness, headaches, and the like. Worse symptoms include seizures, hemorrhaging, internal organ damage, heart damage, bleeding in the brain, infertility or impotence, coma, and even death. With prolonged exposure, the damages to your health can increase significantly. Once toxic black mold has been remediated, most of your symptoms should gradually diminish. However, some problems may be permanent, including respiratory problems and immune system problems.

Identifying Black Mold in Your Home

Toxic black mold typically appears as a slimy, greenish-black substance that is gelatinous in nature. Occasionally, it may appear dry or powdery if the water in the area has dried up. There are several species of mold that look like toxic black mold, and it is only with professional examination in a laboratory that it can be accurately identified. Most commonly it grows in warm areas. Black mold relies on heavy moisture for growth and therefore is often hidden from view in a water leak, inside the walls, under floors, etc. It also takes a while to grow, sometimes as much as a week to twelve days to develop a colony.
