Mold Testing and Remediation questions, answered by experts

Water damage always poses the risk of mold, but if you act quickly enough (within the first 24 hours), you may be able to avoid mold growth resulting from water damage. Clean up the water quickly and thoroughly dry the area. If the issue is more extensive or you didn’t act quickly enough, it’s always safer to assume mold has grown and hire a mold inspector to examine the area.

A mold inspection costs $660 for the average homeowner. This cost can range anywhere from $150 to $2.800, depending on the size of your home, the number and type of samples, and the number of hard-to-reach areas of your home that need testing. 

Places like air ducts, crawl spaces, and wall cavities are particularly inviting for mold spores but require more time from your mold inspection pro. Additionally, swab testing, where a surface sample from an area of your home is collected, generally costs $200 to $300 per area. Air testing, however, is more costly, ranging from $250 to $350, but can cost as much as $700.

Toxic mold doesn't have a specific color; instead, toxicity depends on the type of mold and the mycotoxins it produces. Stachybotrys chartarum (also known as black mold) is notorious for its potential toxicity. However, not all molds appearing black are Stachybotrys chartarum. Mold species that appear in various colors, such as green, gray, brown, or black, can also produce mycotoxins. Therefore, it's essential to focus on identifying the type of mold through professional testing rather than relying solely on color to determine its toxicity.

Although you can run a DIY test for mold inside your home by buying a test kit, you won’t know whether the strain of mold is dangerous. The best way to test for mold in a home is to hire a professional who can determine the specific type of mold that you have. If you’re worried you exposed yourself to mold and it’s making you ill, you could request a health test. Your personal doctor could test your urine, take a nasal swab, or test some body tissue to determine your potential exposure to mold.

The biggest difference between black mold and regular mold is that black mold is considered toxic, and far more dangerous than regular types of mold. Black mold is a specific type of mold that appears green, gray, brown, or black. Exposure to the toxins in black mold can cause severe health issues, including respiratory problems, skin irritation, and headaches. While regular mold can also irritate your respiratory system, black mold can cause a more serious reaction. Black mold is less common than regular mold and tends to grow in severely water-damaged areas.
