Listed below are some of the more common molds found through testing in the home. Many of these molds grow in a manner which gives clues to their identity. Others are more subtle and may go unnoticed. Many times, mold is not seen at all but is found in the air, on fibers of drapes, carpets, in the furnace duct work, or sometimes beneath thresholds, inside attics or inside walls. One of the most noted molds, STACHYBOTRYS (Black Mold), does not normally occur in the outdoors and frequently defies air quality testing. A certified mold inspector (CMI) is often needed to locate the source of the contamination as well as the moisture source contributing to the growth.

If you display the health symptoms noted below as possibly being mold induced, have been ill longer than you feel you should have been or have recurring symptoms, a mold evaluation may be the next step required to rule out an allergic reaction to mold in your home. Remember, mold cannot be reliably diagnosed without testing. Many things look like mold which simply are not. Visual diagnosis not withstanding, there are many cases where the mold is simply not visible even though the mold count in a given home is high and could be a health risk.

Mold has been around since the beginning of time. There are well over 100,000 varieties of mold and the odds of someone having a reaction to any of them are quite good.

Mold evaluation, followed by testing and identification, followed by remediation if needed, is the path to feeling well again.
