"Chris came On Weds. Spent 45 minutes in the crawl space to determine what would be required. The company came the very next day to clean out the wetness and set up the drying fans and dehumidifier. Prompt and courteous, and if God forbid another situation like this occurs I will not hesitate to hire Paladin again! I made a claim to the insurance company and they sent a company to check out the issue 3 weeks later. They spent less than 5 minutes looking into the crawl space, took 2 pictures and said they would contact the insurance company and get back to me. Never did either."

Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

The primary difference is that black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) is considered toxic and more dangerous than regular mold. It can produce harmful chemicals called mycotoxins, which may lead to severe health issues like respiratory problems, skin irritation, headaches, and other long-term complications. While regular mold is rarely toxic, it can still cause allergic reactions and respiratory irritation. Visually, black mold often appears dark—green, gray, brown, or black—with a fuzzy texture, whereas regular mold can be almost any color. Black mold is less common and typically grows in areas with severe water damage. Regardless of the type, you should not ignore any mold infestation in your home.

Mold grows in areas with humidity levels above 60%, but ideal conditions for mold growth occur when humidity is between 70% and 90%, especially in poorly ventilated areas. To prevent mold growth, aim to maintain indoor humidity levels between 30% and 50% using dehumidifiers, proper ventilation, and temperature control. Regularly check your home's humidity with a hygrometer to help you monitor and avoid conditions conducive to mold.

The CDC does not consider diatomaceous earth toxic to humans or animals, though it can cause skin, eye, and lung irritation when handled without PPE. It's important to note that non-food-grade diatomaceous earth can be toxic when handled or consumed, so homeowners should only purchase the food-grade option.

In some cases, yes, insulating an unheated garage can lead to mold and mildew. The issue with insulating a garage is that the interior will warm up and cool down more slowly than the exterior air, which can cause condensation inside the space. Where there is moisture, there is likely to be mold and mildew over time. Installing a vapor barrier can help avoid moisture and mildew problems in an insulated garage.

Mold in a furnace is frequently found on evaporator coils, filters, or within the ductwork. The mold appears in dark, fuzzy patches in either black, green, or white. You may also notice a musty odor. Green or white mold can be cleaned with DIY methods, but if you see black mold, call a professional. Black mold is toxic and harmful to your health.
