"We called Silva’s Painting & Construction yesterday to reinforce two shelves that were sagging. They came and fixed them right away. Then we asked if they could construct additional shelves for our custom storage cabinets in our garage. They took measurements and a sample and constructed them in a very short amount of time. Silva’s and sons, Giovanni and Alex along with their amazing father, Sergio, have been wonderful in helping us with our move to another neighborhood and all the adjustments needed. Highly recommend and endorse this business."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

No, not all black mold is toxic. Although people often refer to stachybotrys chartarum as toxic black mold, there is little evidence that any one type of black mold has more toxicity than another. People who have an allergy to black mold would be more likely to have a dangerous reaction after inhaling it. Long-term exposure to black mold spores can lead to severe infection and disease. Some people only have minor health problems after black mold exposure. Ultimately, toxicity is rare with any kind of mold, but it is possible, so always take the appropriate precautions.

White mold is generally considered less harmful than black mold, which can be more toxic due to the mycotoxins it produces. However, white mold can still be harmful, particularly for individuals with mold allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions. Exposure can cause symptoms like nasal stuffiness, throat irritation, coughing, or skin irritation, and it can exacerbate existing health issues. Because any type of mold can pose health risks, all mold infestations should be treated seriously. Prompt remediation is necessary, and you should take proper precautions, such as wearing protective gear and using appropriate cleaning agents, when dealing with it.

Mold thrives in high-moisture environments, whether that’s steady leaks or just high condensation. Around the house, common causes of mold include leaky pipes, a leaking roof, high humidity, poor ventilation, a damp basement, rotting food in the fridge, wet clothing and towels not hung properly for drying, a leaking foundation, and a leaky air conditioner.

And, of course, if your home suffers from flood damage, you stand the risk of developing mold in the aftermath. That’s why it’s important to act quickly at the first sign of mold.

It‘s risky to pressure wash indoors, and we wouldn’t recommend it, but following all safety guidelines can prevent the worst outcomes. Always make sure to use an electric-powered machine over one that’s gas-powered, remove obstacles that could cause tripping or falling, and keep appliances like hair dryers and toothbrushes unplugged and out of the way to prevent electrical hazards. 

Mold is a blight on your home but over time, can be an extreme health risk, especially for immunocompromised individuals. Depending on the type of mold you’re dealing with, you could even experience neurological symptoms, or in extreme cases, you can be hospitalized. Even a tiny speck of toxigenic mold can cause a whole slew of very serious health issues. Deal with any mold issues immediately.
