What Is Black Mold?
Black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) is a toxic fungus that grows in damp, poorly ventilated areas, such as:
- Basements and crawl spaces
- Bathrooms without proper airflow
- Behind walls or ceilings with leaks
- Inside HVAC systems exposed to moisture
Exposure can cause symptoms like coughing, skin irritation, fatigue, and worsen asthma or immune conditions.
Signs You May Have Black Mold
Watch for these common indicators:
- Dark mold patches on walls or ceilings
- Persistent musty odors
- Allergy-like symptoms or breathing issues
- History of water damage in the area
- Positive mold test or inspection results
Early action helps prevent health risks and reduces cleanup complexity.
